Seen here is an example of papier mâché bindings, also called "mother-of-pearl bindings" and "lacquered bindings". They appeared on American books only briefly - around 1850-55 - a time of increasingly elaborate book cover decoration. Papier maché was a very popular technique used to produce household items such as trays, snuff boxes, table tops, daguerreotype cases, and even furniture. The Library Company has 49 papier mâché bindings and 8 portfolio covers. Also included are papier mâché from a private collection. #FlickrFriday
