Diamond Jubilee - Bookmark

This glorious design comes from Sangorski & Sutcliffe, a world-renowned British bindery, who quickly rose to become one of the 20th century's most important bookbinders. They were especially celebrated for their jewelled bindings, like the one reproduced here. Originally crafted in 1922 to house Rudyard Kipling's 1897 Recessional poem written for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, it incorporated real turquoise, aquamarine and ruby gemstones, alongside medieval-style illumination by Alberto Sangorski and gold tooling by George Sutcliffe.
