Drawing its allure from the illustrious British bookbinding artist Sybil Pye, and steeped in the rich Art Deco tradition, this diary cover captivates attention. This opulent design originally served to encase a compendium of poetic works by William Wordsworth, made even more enchanting through the illustrations by Thomas Sturge Moore. As one of England's youngest female binders prior to World War I, Pye distinguished herself as the sole specialist in the intricate art of inlaid leather bindings. This cover mirrors her unique talent and demonstrates the power of a well-dressed verse.
