Other Details:
Katharine Adams was a clergyman's daughter. Binding books by hand did not earn her a living, but the money helped her to be comfortable. She worked in Broadway, Worcestershire, from 1901-1915, often re-binding old books and manuscripts for book collectors. Her bindings are generally strongly built and of sound materials; decoration is secondary. The printer Emery Walker wanted to see her recognized as the first artist binder in England.
