1850 Cloth Binding for Rebacking – Book Conservation

This binding not only had age damage but had been glued up with what looks like a library repair with an inflexible glue.  A lot of time has to go into removing all of that glue inside and out.  Permanent damage to the spine but I do what I can to retain as much of the original.
