Bindings signed by the binder

This is a showcase of those custom or "one off" bindings that can be attributed to a particular bookbinder. This attribution is possible because the binder left some mark on the binding itself, such as a stamp or binder's ticket. While some of these binders are very well known, others are almost a complete mystery and have little or no record in the current corpus of bookbinding literature or databases.
