Beautiful copy of this famous industrial binding produced between 1933 and 1955 by Joseph Taupin, under the pseudonym Jotau. The boards and the back are molded in a mass-dyed resin, close to bakelite, pollopas. Flats and backs are articulated by a rod. This particularly brittle resin was quickly abandoned and few copies reach us without damage, as is the case with the book we are offering.
