Cleaning a book spine, to prepare it for a new lining. Printed binder’s waste was used for the original spine lining. The book is “From grave to gay; being essays and studies concerned with certain subjects of serious interest, with the Puritans, with literature, and with the humours of life” by J. St. Loe Strachey.

Useful books, for weakly puppies and dainty feeders. (Ads in the back of a 19th century book.)
