THE SPENCER COLLECTION 
 
 By Henry W. Kent 
 
 Secretary, Metropolitan Museum of Art 
 
 'T^HE Spencer Collection of modern 
 -'- book-bindings is now displayed at 
 the Central Building of The New York 
 Public Library. It consists of one hun- 
 dred and seventy-five titles (two hundred 
 and twenty-two volumes) by twenty-eight 
 different binders, and illustrated by more 
 than two hundred artists. A descriptive 
 catalogue of the books appears in the fol- 
 lowing pages. 
 
 The donor, William Augustus Spencer, 
 was the son of Lorillard Spencer, of New 
 York City, and his wife, Sarah Johnson 
 Griswold of Lyme, Conn. He was a grand- 
 son of Captain William Augustus Spencer 
 of the United States Navy, and great- 
 grandson of Judge Ambrose Spencer of 
 the Supreme Court of the State of New 
 York. 
 
 Mr. Spencer was born in New York City, 
 and was educated in Europe, partly in 
 Geneva. He made his home in Paris, 
 frequently visiting the United States. He 
 began book collecting as a diversion, many 
 years ago, making a specialty of modern 
 French bindings and illustrated books. 
 
 On his last visit to New York he in- 
 spected the Central Building of The New 
 York Public Library, not then entirely 
 finished. He was greatly interested, and 
 declared his intention of leaving his books 
 to the Library. Mr. Spencer perished in 
 the sinking of the "Titanic," April 15, 
 1912. 
 
 Even a hasty glance at the books 
 named in the following pages will dis- 
 close the fact that nearly all are the pro- 
 duct of the latter half of the nineteenth 
 century. With few exceptions, the authors, 
 the publishers, the printers, the engravers, 
 and the bookbinders are all representative 
 of what is modern in their several spheres. 
 Taken together, they present material for 
 a study of bookmaking in France during a 
 period, which, though short when com- 
 pared with its whole history, has been 
 long enough to be full of vital and last- 
 ing results. 
 
 The story of the Book, with all of its 
 chapters on printing, illustration, binding, 
 publishing, and collecting, is one in which 
 the French people have had a larger and 
 more important share than any other; in- 
 
 deed, they may be said to have made the 
 fields of book collecting and binding their 
 own. 
 
 Fine bookbinding more than anything 
 else depends upon patronage for its ex- 
 istence. Its history is inseparably linked 
 with the social history of the countries 
 where it is practised. The covers of the 
 books of French binders reflect in their 
 polished sides as vividly as literature does 
 in its pages the story of society in France. 
 Johannis Guigard in his "Nouvel Armoriai 
 du Bibliophile," (Paris, 1890) says: "The 
 love of books has always been the special 
 domain of the kings of France; all have 
 formed collections of considerable merit 
 for their times." We have to-day the 
 evidence of the aristocratic taste of a 
 long line of kings, emperors, and princes, 
 beginning with Louis XII and Anne of 
 Brittany, in the bindings from the princely 
 libraries of Louis XII, covered with deco- 
 ration in the fashion of the architectural 
 ornament of his time — diapers and stripes 
 of repeated forms interspersed with coats- 
 of-arms; of Francis I, with their strong 
 feeling for the bindings done in Italy, but 
 with the king's crowned shield or cypher; 
 of Henry II, reflecting the Italian influ- 
 ence also, but with French innovations; 
 of Francis II, with a series of cyphers and 
 fleurs-de-lis; of Charles IX, Henry III, 
 Henry IV, Louis XIII, down to the last 
 Emperor, in all, we may trace the history 
 of book-collecting in its wisdom and its 
 vagaries. 
 
 That the love of books and their suitable 
 care were not kingly prerogatives alone, 
 we learn from the recital of the long list 
 of distinguished collectors whose names 
 add lustre to the chapter. Jean Grolier, 
 Viscount dWguisy (1479-1565), Treasurer- 
 General of the Duchy of Milan, friend 
 of Francis I, and his ambassador to 
 Pope Clement VII, Treasurer-General of 
 France, friend of Aldus, most lavish pa- 
 tron and promoter of the art of collecting 
 and of binding books, heads the list. To 
 him is accorded the first place among all 
 the names in the history of bililiophilism, 
 and to him, more than to any other one 
 person, we owe not only the dignified posi- 
 tion tliat book collecting occupies among 
 
 [3]

 the gentler arts, but also the most impor- 
 tant, fundamental style in the decoration 
 of book covers. A worthy successor to 
 Grolier was the celebrated historian of 
 his times, Jacques Auguste de Thou, or 
 Thuanus, as he is more often called, a 
 statesman of repute and a distinguished 
 character. Coming upon the scene at a 
 time when bookbinding was in the golden 
 age of its development, he played an im- 
 portant part — how important, the vol- 
 umes of his library show — if not as the 
 originator of a new style of decoration, 
 as some writers would have us think, 
 certainly as a lavish and discriminating 
 patron. 
 
 The importance of the lay-collector in 
 the book arts is amply illustrated by these 
 two men, but there were many others of 
 their time each distinguished in his way. 
 There was, for instance, Jean Baptiste Col- 
 bert, the statesman, and minister of fi- 
 nance, under Louis XIV, an encourager 
 of commerce and the industries, and the 
 founder of the Academy of Inscriptions. 
 Nor may we fail to mention Mazarin, the 
 Italian and French cardinal and states- 
 man, and the founder of one of the great 
 libraries of the world, which bears his 
 name. 
 
 The lives of such men as these, "stand- 
 ard-bearers of culture in the citizen-army," 
 covered the period of the French Renais- 
 sance, and, as Sidney Lee says, in his 
 "French Renaissance in England," "help 
 to indicate the alluring versatility of the 
 culture" of the period. 
 
 To what extent the patronage of kings, 
 princes, and the great ones of the earth 
 is responsible for styles in binding would 
 require nice discrimination to determine, 
 because into such a discussion must enter 
 the consideration of the interdependence 
 of the arts, great and small; the subtle in- 
 fluence of the grand styles of the dif- 
 ferent periods; the question of tools and 
 of materials; the economic and commer- 
 cial conditions affecting the uses of 
 leathers, papers, gold; and a knowledge 
 of the associations of binders, or guilds, 
 with their laws, masters, and apprentices. 
 The guilds cannot be overlooked, not only 
 because of their immediate influence, but 
 also because of their later effects upon 
 styles. Last, but by no means least, we 
 should be obliged to consider the influ- 
 ence of the individual binder, with his taste 
 and inventive faculty. 
 
 The first of the bindings made in France, 
 like the products of the other arts, show 
 the signs of forms transplanted from Italy, 
 
 but with certain changes in design and in 
 handling of materials strongly tinged with 
 the individuality of the race, and of the 
 royal and noble patrons. The unsurpassed 
 books bound for Grolier in Italy by un- 
 known workmen, like the first fruits of 
 Gutenberg's press, although the genesis 
 of them all, are among the most perfect 
 examples of the art of book-ornamenta- 
 tion ever produced. In their strongly de- 
 signed and painted interlacing bands, and 
 gold-tooled arabesques of graceful lines 
 and fleurons, may be found the reflection 
 of the absorbing interest felt by Venice 
 for the decoration of the East, — es- 
 pecially for the painted manuscripts and 
 lacquered covers of the Persians, intro- 
 duced by Aldus, the Printer, — together 
 with the technique of the goldsmith's art 
 of her own Renaissance. Thereafter, little 
 influence from the outside seems to have 
 affected the binders of France, except, 
 when, the Revolution having laid its ban 
 on all symbols or tools suggestive of the 
 past, they turned to England for help from 
 Roger Payne (the only great binder that 
 country ever produced), and when, later, 
 in our own day, they once more adopted 
 a style of English manufacture. 
 
 The effects of the other arts upon bind- 
 ing design are not difficult to unravel. To 
 the early binders of the printed book ty- 
 pography gave of its ornament which it in 
 turn had received from the illuminations 
 on the manuscripts and from the lovely 
 rolls and stamps of their pig-skin covers. 
 We see in successive periods the influence 
 of architecture, of iron-work, of lace-work, 
 of the Chinese porcelains and stuffs, of 
 Boule's inlays in wood, brass, ivory and 
 lacquer, his designs for his cabinet-work, 
 of many things, monumental, grave, and 
 dignified, or, again, flippant and even silly. 
 
 During the whole of the period from 
 Louis XII down to the beginning of the 
 nineteenth century, leather was the ma- 
 terial chiefly used for the bindings of 
 printed books, with ornamentations in 
 gold stamped on with many little tools 
 or rolls brought to a heat, or with small 
 pieces of varicolored leather, inlaid to form 
 the pattern with the gold. Other ma- 
 terials had been used before and our 
 binders could not have been entirely ig- 
 norant of them, — like the ivory covers of 
 the Romans, the enameled metal covers of 
 the Byzantines, the jeweled gold and silver 
 covers of the Italians, the lacquered paper 
 of the Persians, as well as the stamped 
 pig-skin and vellum of the Middle Ages 
 and the painted leather of the Italians.

THE SPENCER COLLECTION 
 
 So early as 1401, the binders of books 
 were granted a charter by Charles VI to 
 form a guild, which continued in active 
 operation until 1791, although the gilders 
 and forwarders separated, the gilders to 
 form an association of their own in 1686. 
 And even after the disruption of guilds, 
 the encouragement to the art of binding 
 was continued by the State after 1798, 
 through what have been called "Assises 
 industrielles" or Expositions. Napoleon 
 himself issued the order for the second 
 exhibition in 1801. 
 
 The first important name in the list of 
 French bookbinders is that of the Eves, — 
 Nicolas, who was binder to Henry III; 
 Clovis, binder to Henry IV and Louis 
 XIII; and Robert, son and successor of 
 the latter. These men appeared upon the 
 scene when the stj'le of binding had already 
 assumed racial characteristics in its natural 
 development from the bindings of Italy in- 
 troduced by Grolier, those adopted from 
 manuscripts, and the early books of the 
 first French printers. Their names are 
 associated with the intricate and graceful 
 branches of foliage, spirals, and flowers, 
 evolved quite naturally from the curved 
 lines and graceful fleurons of the earlier 
 styles, which were interspersed on the 
 field in the spaces between the interwoven 
 curved and straight lines of the bands 
 which now extended across the cover forin- 
 ing irregular shaped panels. Such designs 
 are called "fanfare." Many of the most 
 beautiful bindings of this kind are said 
 to have come from their hands, just as 
 the duplicating of the design of the front 
 on the back cover and the harmonious de- 
 signing of the back of the cover are as- 
 cribed to them. 
 
 Another name of importance, belonging 
 to the latter half of Louis XIII's reign, 
 is that of Le Gascon, a binder about whom 
 almost nothing is known. To him are 
 ascribed bindings with designs based upon 
 the earlier forms, but executed with tools 
 having dotted outlines, thus producing an 
 effect that seems to show that their orig- 
 inator was strongly influenced by the laces 
 of the day — and it was the day of wonder- 
 ful laces. The finest bindings of this kind 
 are those in which the field — the spaces 
 between the bands — is filled quite solidly 
 with filmy patterns, leaving the fillets 
 themselves as if in relief. It is the custom 
 of writers on this subject to call Le Gascon 
 the greatest of l)indcrs. 
 
 A large family bearing the name of 
 Padeloup became famous through the ad- 
 mirable work of Antoine Michel of the 
 
 name, w-ho lived during the first half of 
 the eighteenth century, and who, wnth the 
 Deromes, may be said to represent the 
 best of the art of binding in the reign of 
 Louis XIV. In Padeloup's bindings ap- 
 pear a new set of tools, quite different in 
 character from those which preceded them. 
 A new arrangement of the ornament, of 
 the division of the space to be decorated, 
 a freer use of leathers and colors, and. 
 perhaps, most noticeable of all, an entire 
 departure from the older forms of bands 
 and fleurons characterize his work. It is 
 customary to recite at this point a story of 
 the appearance of a volume of Daphnis 
 and Chloe by Longus, published in 1718, 
 having on its covers a diaper formed of 
 a mosaic of small pieces of varicolored 
 leather, which marked an epoch in book- 
 binding. These diaper patterns in mosaic 
 were favorites of Padeloup and his fol- 
 lowers, many of them recalling the de- 
 lightful volumes bound for Margaret of 
 Valois in which the tooled branches of 
 leaves divide the cover into panels, which 
 have in their centres the daisy and lily em- 
 blems of this princess. 
 
 If Le Gascon may be called the finest 
 of binders, Padeloup may be safely char- 
 acterized as the most individual. He was 
 an innovator, and he is distinguished for 
 his departure from the conventional. Many 
 bright-colored bindings ascribed to him, 
 some bearing his name, with large con- 
 ventionalized flowers, leaves, and other 
 ornaments suggestive of the study of Chi- 
 nese porcelain and stuffs, were as far as 
 possible from what had preceded, and 
 furnish the excuse for much of what has 
 been done in the nineteenth century. 
 
 While adhering to the older styles in 
 the main, Jacques Antoine Derome, most 
 distinguished of a long line of binders of 
 this name, by his perfection of workman- 
 ship, his adaptation of the lace-like pat- 
 terns of the previous century, made heavier 
 and stiffer, and by his application of his 
 ornament as a border to his covers, takes 
 rank among the most important in the 
 history of the art. 
 
 Alany other names exist, some attached 
 to the bindings which their bearers exe- 
 cuted, but by far the greater number with- 
 out such identification. Among them are 
 Badier, Bradcl, Boj'er, Dubuisson, Duseuil, 
 Le Monnier, Pique, and Ruette, all fol- 
 lowing the styles of the times in which 
 they lived. 
 
 In the reign of Louis XVI. prettiness

 aggeratedly charming and graceful some- 
 times, in the hands of the best men, 
 working in the traditions of Padeloup and 
 Derome, but like all of the arts of the 
 period, rapidly declining from the begin- 
 ning furnished by Padeloup's art. Inlays 
 of lace, miniatures, colored paper, and 
 tinsel covered the little almanacs and frip- 
 pery diaries. In a period of decadence, 
 these volumes, like the frivolities of the 
 last years of the tottering monarchy, 
 came to an abrupt end. 
 
 With the nineteenth century came the 
 rise and fall of styles in quick succession, 
 following daintily in the footsteps of the 
 more serious realities of political events. 
 The styles of the Empire, the Restoration, 
 the Second Empire, and the Republic 
 crowded close upon one another. Napo- 
 leon's adoption of the classical style of' 
 decoration in his architecture and decora- 
 tions, was followed by all of the arts and 
 crafts, bookbinding among them, and the 
 borders of frets, palmettes, garlands, tro- 
 phies, and other Pompeian things, as trans- 
 lated by the architects, Percier and Fon- 
 taine, found their way, in the hands of 
 the Bozerian brothers and their followers, 
 to the covers of books. This was done, 
 however, after a timid dallying with the 
 graceful dots and floral sprays of the one 
 really great English binder, Roger Payne, 
 whose designs proved then, as ever since, 
 tempting, but baffling of reproduction. 
 Most of the bindings of the period are 
 characterized by their straight-grained 
 moroccos and their thin and careless tool- 
 ing when compared with the work of 
 Derome and of the following decade. 
 
 Under the Restoration, Thouvenin, Pur- 
 gold, and Simier were the most important 
 binders. With heavier tools, more solid 
 gilding, bastard fleurons, the wheel and 
 heavy stamps, they produced original com- 
 binations of some merit, in which the pre- 
 dominating motives were adapted to the 
 cover spaces with ingenuity. The cul- 
 mination of their style expressed itself in 
 architectural forms, Gothic traceries and 
 rose windows, "a la cathedrale," a sympa- 
 thetic expression of the Romantic litera- 
 ture of the time. 
 
 There came, about 1830, a reversion to 
 type, in the hands of the most impeccable 
 of binders, Trautz-Bauzonnet, and the 
 tools of the Eves, Le Gascon, Padeloup, 
 and Derome once more found their way 
 to the covers of books with a splendor of 
 the most accomplished tooling, in the rich- 
 est gold, the most sumptuous leathers and 
 doublures (the insidcs of the covers) 
 
 which have ever been seen. It was what 
 Marius Michel has called it, a period of 
 "archaeological zeal." It was a period also 
 of a new kind of collector-patron, of the 
 societies which were now formed to print 
 books, and to collect them. There sprang 
 up a furore for collecting, for binding, 
 and especially, for the bindings of Trautz, 
 prices of which soared to fantastic figures, 
 a furore which assumed such proportions 
 that it has been characterized by the name 
 of "Trautzology." 
 
 It was but natural that an episode like 
 this should come to an end. The younger 
 men, from 1870 to 1885, under the influ- 
 ence of the new art, "art nouveau," which 
 had its inception in England, began their 
 struggle against the "archaeological," rais- 
 ing the standard of individualism — the 
 expression of themselves and of the sub- 
 ject of their books. Now for the first 
 time was heard the plea for the charac- 
 terization of the book in the design of 
 its cover. 
 
 We have said that fine bindings depend 
 upon patronage for their existence. With 
 the fall of the Empire, patronage in its 
 old sense died, but a new kind arose with 
 the formation in 1874 of an association 
 of collectors calling themselves "Les amis 
 des livres," who determined to produce 
 books in which authors, artists, printers, 
 and binders were to collaborate in obtain- 
 ing harmonious results. 
 
 Publishers, also, like Conquet, C. Levy, 
 P. Dauze, A. Ferroud, Romagnol, and 
 others, were quick to follow in the new 
 development, associating with them the 
 best artists and illustrators of the day, 
 like Felix Bracquemond, Adolphe Lalauze, 
 M. Leloir, A. Lepere, and many others. 
 
 With the movement, the binders were 
 intimately associated, and very important 
 factors they were. Entirely new rela- 
 tions between the contributors to the 
 production of the book came into exist- 
 ence. The binder from being a workman, 
 became a person, an "artist;" he began 
 to write books; to exhibit in salons of 
 his own; and, generall3^ was one to be 
 reckoned with. The whole period is dis- 
 tinguished by his ambition to surpass and 
 to obtain recognition. Men trained in the 
 rendering of the archaeological styles, past- 
 masters in the art of gilding, like those 
 whose works are in the Spencer Collec- 
 tion, Gruel, Canape, Cape, Chambolle, 
 Cuzin, Lortic, Mercier, and Marius 
 Michel, broke away gradually but surely 
 from the traditions, to make and execute 
 their own designs. The desire for har-

 mony between the cover and the book ex- 
 tended even to materials and methods of 
 workmanship, as for instance — an ex- 
 treme one — in the "Aurora Australis" of 
 the Spencer Collection, for which the wood 
 of a packing case which contained pro- 
 visions for the British Antarctic expedi- 
 tion of 1907, is used. 
 
 Mosaics, in the richest of leathers, 
 crushed and plain, cover the sides, backs, 
 and doublures of these books, while the 
 richest of silks, satins, and other stuffs 
 are often added to give greater luxuriance. 
 New methods for the treatment of the 
 leather, unheard of before, are adopted, 
 such as modeled leather to produce the 
 effect of sculpture in relief; chiseled 
 leather, to produce the effect of etching; 
 and material other than leather, such as 
 porcelains, metals, and enamels. 
 
 Many of the designs made under the 
 influence of these new conditions are 
 varied and striking, having no suggestion 
 of anything which had gone before, with 
 the possible exception of some of Pade- 
 loup's most extreme mosaics in the 
 Chinese style. They range through the 
 conventionalized renderings of motives, 
 the partly conventionalized to the natural- 
 istic, and they embrace all forms of orna- 
 ment, animal, vegetable, and human. The 
 influence of the Japanese method of orna- 
 mentation, for which a craze had been 
 worked up, and the influence of the pic- 
 ture-poster, are strongly felt. 
 
 Perhaps the most striking thing about 
 these modern bindings is the large size 
 of the lines with which the design is con- 
 structed, epecially when compared with 
 the delicacy of line of the older forms of 
 decoration. This is due to the bigness of 
 the design itself, — large wreaths of 
 flowers and leaves, large birds, or butter- 
 flies, large pictures covering the whole 
 of the boards, and not to any lack of skill 
 in the rendering of this part of the binder's 
 art. Skill was never more in evidence, it 
 had never been called upon to such an 
 extent, and technical difficulties hardly 
 seem to exist except to be played with. 
 Largeness is the keynote to the whole 
 movement. 
 
 Of the individual binders, Marius Michel 
 may be said to be the dominating spirit, the 
 most original and important name today. 
 While master of the older styles, there is 
 no method of the new styles that he does 
 not essay with an individuality which may 
 easily be distinguished from those of his 
 competitors. Although thought so revolu- 
 tionary at first, his designs have come to 
 be accepted as the best examples of the 
 search for a new style. In the twenty- 
 six books collected by Mr. Spencer, the 
 range of Michel's work in mosaics is well 
 shown, especially his fondness for partly 
 conventionalized flower motives. Illus- 
 trations of five of his bindings are given 
 herewith. 
 
 In the twenty-nine examples of fimile 
 Mercier's work collected by Mr. Spencer 
 may be seen the perfection of gilding by 
 this "impeccable" master of that art, one 
 who has never advanced so far afield 
 from the traditions as Alichel, but whose 
 designs are always characterized by ele- 
 gance and taste. One of the illustrations 
 herewith shows his binding for Gautier's 
 "Jean et Jeannette." 
 
 Leon Gruel, while not so stronglj' indi- 
 vidual in his designs as Michel, is yet as 
 versatile in his methods of expressing 
 them. His chiseled bindings, like the 
 "Imitation of Christ" here shown, are 
 good examples of his work. 
 
 To be convinced of the consummate 
 workmanship of the French binders, to 
 see the extent of their manual dexterity, 
 one has but to examine the gilding and 
 the inlaying of these men, and of Lortic 
 and Joly. Theirs is the skill of the gold- 
 smith and the enameler. Whether or not 
 the art of their designs is as great as that 
 of the older binders, it is idle to discuss 
 at this time. Decorative art is good if 
 it serves its purpose well, is appropriate, 
 and is well done. It is certain, however, 
 that the best of the work of the present- 
 day binders, like that shown in the Spen- 
 cer Collection, will take its place in the 
 history of book-binding, together with the 
 work of the Eves, Le Gascon, the Pade- 
 loups, and the Deromes.
