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.
