Public-domain bookbinding illustrations
This page holds 283 illustrations from 28 books on bookbinding, papermaking, marbling and tanning, published between 1853 and 1925 and now in the public domain. We made it because there is almost nothing about this craft in Indonesian that anyone can read freely, so we gathered what exists in other languages and gave every image its full source.
Every image comes from a Project Gutenberg EPUB transcription, and each source book is in the public domain in the United States — the illustrations were cut from the original pages by Project Gutenberg volunteers themselves, so the caption beneath each one is a copy of the printed text, not an OCR guess. We show those captions exactly as printed; where they are in German or French, the translation in square brackets is our own addition. Not one image on this page was made by us. This page holds the EPUB half of our research shelf of 184 public-domain works; anything published after 1929 is left out because we have not established its rights status.
Bookbinding
Images of the binding work itself — sewing the sheets, attaching the covers, the binder’s tools, and the stages of work in a bindery of the period.
