Armorial bookplate of the duke of Gloucester (royal arms with a label of five points, the centre bearing a fleur-de-lys etc etc).

The binding is in the style of John Brindley, who bound books for the duke's grandparents when prince and princess of Wales.

Contemporary English Harleian binding in the style of John Brindley; red morocco; gold tooled wide border roll with corner pieces, and centrepiece composed of smaller punches; gold tooled roll along board edges and turn-in; gold tooling on spine, with black morocco labels in alternate compartments; five raised bands.
