While I have concentrated my research on the French Binders, I have also devoted quite a few pages to one of the most famous Dutch 18th century binders, Johannes Stofvoet, 1687 - 1749. Click on the link below to see a new page where you find links to these pages |
Below are some additional links, mainly a collection of pages relating to the 16th century binders and a section on 18th century plaques. The plaque pages lead me on to researching the work of Pierre-Paul Dubuisson and should perhaps be included with his other pages, in any case try them first. |
Even experts are sometimes wrong, before you spend thousands on a book, please do your own research! Just because I say a certain binding can be attributed to le Maitre isn't any kind of guarantee, don't take my word for it, go a step further and get your own proof. In this work I have had to count heavily on the experts who have gone before me, and after many long hours of comparative study, I have discovered certain errors in their work, which I have in some cases unknowingly repeated in these pages. |
