Early German book in gorgeous binding, published by a woman. @emwjournal.bsky.social #women #publishing #binding
Here's the whole tooled pigskin binding. The book inside, published by Katherine Gerlach in Nürnberg in 1585, is comprised of two musical texts, one of which is printed (particularly beautifully) in red and black on vellum!
