1815 Antiquarian Paper Binding for Conservation - Book Conservation

This is a paper binding that was  missing the spine except for the original paper label.
I rebacked it using a matching archival paper and reattached the label.
Paper bindings are usually more difficult than cloth or leather as paper is much more delicate.
Also paper binding boards are usually much thinner and more difficult to work with.
