Abstract
The bookbindings that publishers created between 1830 and 1910 are some of the most beautiful mass-produced objects of the Victorian era. Looking carefully at book covers reveals details about the printing industry during the nineteenth century, how these bindings were created, and how they mirror aesthetic sensibilities of the day. By recognizing the distinctive characteristics of bindings for each decade in which they were produced and noting them in catalog records, instruction sessions, and exhibits, librarians can creatively call attention to publishers' bookbindings as valuable cultural artifacts in library collections.
