Notes
W. H. J. Weale, Bookbindings and Rubbings of Bindings in the National Art Library, South Kensington, 2 V. (London, 1898, 1894).
Early Stamped Bookbindings in the British Museum . . . mainly by the late W. H. J. Weale, completed by Laurence Taylor (London, 1922).
English Binding before 1500 (Cambridge, 1929), and several monographs published by the Bibliographical Society, London, are concerned primarily with blind-stamped bindings. He has also written extensively on other styles.
London, Bibliographical Society, 1944. cf. p. 108. Mr. Hobson's death on January 5, 1949, is an immeasurable loss to students of binding, and it is good to know that there is a possibility of publishing his most recent work, on binding styles assignable to individual collectors, although it was not entirely completed. The writer takes satisfaction in acknowledging here his great help and encouragement over a period of years, both by correspondence and personally in his London office.
