Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan


JONES, Owen (1809-1874). Gray’s Elegy. London: Longman and Co.; New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1846. This is the first “relievo” binding designed by Jones and executed by Remnant and Edmonds. In this process the leather was heat-pressed possibly over built-up areas of fibrous plaster, in imitation of carved wooden covers. Owen Jones’ monogram can be seen on the rear cover.
