This striking Art Deco design comes from the celebrated British bookbinder Sybil Pye (1879 1959). It was crafted to hold a collection of William Wordsworth s poems illustrated by Pye s lifelong friend Thomas Sturge Moore. One of the youngest pre First World War women binders, Pye was the only binder in England who specialized in inlaid leather bindings. With this series, we pay tribute to a pioneering woman in the art of book design.
