Thomas Hollis (1720-1774) was a British collector of art and antiquities known for distinctive bindings. This book contains a catalogue and interpretation of his emblematic binding tools and a discussion of the several binders who worked for him. It also explores other activities that are less well known: his patronage of writers, printers, publishers, and artists, and his work as a designer of books and medals.
Contents:
1. The anonymous republican
2. Hollis's bindings
3. Patron and designer
4. 'ut Spargam'
