Binding for The Chimes

Richard Doyle, designer

1845

Gilt interlace, produced using a brass die, on crimson cloth

6¾ x 4¼ inches

Another dynamic and amusing design, this unsigned piece is closely linked to Doyle's illustration of the fairies who torment Trotty Veck (p.92), and is almost certainly his work.
