Chemise of the publisher's buckram binding, cloth folding box. Provenance: G.D. Hobson; with autograph letter signed by the binder to the author (6th April 1943): "Here is your bill!

Your arms block is returned herewith."
"Douglas Bennett Cockerell (1870-1945), after some adventurous years in Canada, was apprenticed, in 1893, to T.J. Cobden-Sanderson's Doves Bindery, also coming under the influence of William Morris whose secretary was at that time Cockerell's brother Sydney (later on Sir Sydney), the eminent connoisseur and collector of MSS. After first setting up as an independent binder in 1898, he finally settled down in Letchworth, in partnership with his son Sydney Morris" (BBB Wittockiana 55).
