Repair of The Life of the Blessed Virgin 1875

This absolutely gorgeous book came to me with both covers detached and the spine missing, taking some cover leather with it. The leather was worn and the beautiful gold tooling on the cover, including the engraved name of the client’s grandfather, was dirty and faded. With a new leather spine in the style of the original, the covers reattached, the leather restored, torn sheets repaired, and the missing ribbon marker replaced with a new one dyed to match the original, this lovely book is ready to be cherished for another century.
