Decorative Description:
Gilt panel design with a three-line fillet and broad arabesque border; enriched with pink goatskin onlays of stylized Tudor roses and cartouche forms. The inlaid center panel of highly polished brown goatskin bears a gilt fillet border of arabesque and other schemes. Gilt tooled onlays of polished purple goatskin form cornerpieces on a dotted ground surrounding an octagonal inlay of alum-tawed pigskin edged with blind and gilt fillets. Doublures finished to the same pattern except for gilt interlaced initials "WS" set in a roundel which takes the place of the Tudor roses. The center panel inlay is of lime green polished goatskin with a solid gilt medallion stamped in the center and overpainted with floral motifs. Title tooled to read down the spine with each word occupying one of the six compartments. A two-line fillet panel frames the spine, while floral and other gilt decoration finishes the effect. "The Trautz-Bauzonnet Bindery" is stamped in gold at the foot of the front doublure on both volumes. Title page, signed by Ross Turner, illuminator, and George D. Sproul, publisher, 1901.

Other Details:
The publisher George D. Sproul engaged the Trautz-Bauzonnet Bindery to produce fine bindings for his St. Dunstan Editions, and their name appears on his letterhead. This American (?) firm apparently assumed the name of the famous 19th-century Parisian firm, the collaboration of Antoine Bauzonnet (1795-1886) and Georges Trautz (1808-1879). From 1840, the work of that firm was signed "Bauzonnet-Trautz." After Bauzonnet's retirement in 1851, work was signed "Trautz-Bauzonnet." In 1869, Georges Trautz became the first binder to receive the distinction, "Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur." When he died in 1879, he left no successor.
