ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND by Lewis Carroll. (London: 1867) Illustrations by John Tenniel. Art binding by Kelly & Sons. [Called a Kelliegram.]
Kelliegram bindings were an innovation of the English firm of Kelly & Sons. Often, one of the engravings inside the books was reproduced on the cover with leather onlays (a thin piece of leather glued on top of another piece of leather) or inlays (a thicker piece of leather glued next to another). This technique was used by other famous English binders, such as Riviere & Son, Bayntun, Root and others.
