Polish original covers for books

Polish original covers for books alias "printed bindings" are machine-made bindings for some or all of the circulation for a mass audience. The British and Americans used this mechanized method of producing book bindings at the end of the second decade of the 19th century. Their linen bindings were impressive, tempting potential buyers with the richness of ornaments, golden and colored impressions, i.e. pressings (or shortly with pistons). From the second half of the 19th century, "publishing bindings" experienced a peak period of development, until the First World War.

"Formally, the" publishing binding "was the same for a" hard "edition of a given book, but they were practically diversified within the same circulation, mainly with solids, i.e. the colors of the canvas (or leather), on which the decorations were embossed (usually five basic colors: canvas red, green, blue, brown and cream, plus variants), although sometimes frames with different impression decorations were given the same edition. " Quote by W. Łysiak, "Empiereum", Warsaw 2004, Wyd. Nobilis, pp. 73-75.

Until the mid-nineteenth century, Polish books were transported to Vienna or Leipzig in order to give them beautiful publishing covers, only in the second century machines began to be imported to Poland, which allowed Polish publishers to give books richly embossed canvas and gilded covers.

Due to our history - rich in conflicts, uprisings and wars - and the fabric's susceptibility to mechanical damage and dirt, books in well-preserved outlays are rare today. What was once mass is not so anymore ...
