The Story Behind the Design

Shakespeare’s Library: First Folio

This gold-tooled design comes from a unique binding attributed to Christian Samuel Kalthoeber, a German bookbinder working in London. He created the beautiful new cover for this copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio around 1800. Originally published in 1623, Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies (or, First Folio) is recognised as the only reliable text for nearly 20 of Shakespeare’s plays, including Macbeth, The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

Turquoise Chronicles

Let a swirl of turquoise inspire you to write your chronicles. This cover design is based on the binding for a book titled Chroniques, originally published by Salel Binder in Paris in 1514. The exuberance of the design reflects the splendour of the Renaissance approach to decoration that influenced architecture, art and all facets of cultural life. In the glittering green-blue of this cover you may see the intricacies of your own stories.
