Notes | This binder was active between c.1535 - 1550, his bindings regard printed texts from 1497 and 1550. M. Foot lists 27 examples. The most distinctive tool features the pecking crow, known in two sizes; the biggest appear on few bindings, first studied by I. Schunke in 1953. Another typical tool is a hand holding a flower bunch, crowned by a pecking crow. Arms of Gulston on spine. | |||
