| This binding is number 15 on Raphaël Esmerian's 1972 inventory list of Antoine Ruette bindings, shown below. |
| A color photograph of this binding is also found in a 1965 Sotheby's catalogue, I have reproduced it below altering the color slightly, as well as including the item information from that catalogue. In the 2007 listing the size is given as In-12 (159 x 88 mm) this differs considerably from the 1965 measurements which are perhaps refering to the binding in its solander case?
