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.

A signed binding by James Hayday with the hand-coloured bookplate of Joseph Walter King Eyton. Hayday was a London binder whose name first appeared in the directories in 1825 and who died in 1876, aged 72. He bound a number of books for Eyton, some of them very elaborate productions. This one is handsome and dignified, in a contemporary style.
