Topiary<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Cecil Stewart\u00a0is about the art of clipping and sculpting foliage to maintain a clearly defined shape, like a geometric design or animal. In 1936, Topiary<\/em> was published by Golden Cockerel Press in a limited letterpress edition on handmade paper with\u00a0whimsical illustrations by Peter Baker Mill.<\/p>\n

\"topiary<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2011, Lori Sauer<\/a> completed a binding of Topiary\u00a0<\/em>in the dos rapport\u00e9 structure. The binding\u00a0is covered in reverse vellum dyed with leather dye. The spine is made up of 3 pieces covered in lizard skin and reverse goat. The boards have inlays of wire wrapped in silk and the spine has colured wire coils placed in cutout holes. The doublures and flyleaves are Japanese paper; the flyleaves have cutouts and ink decoration.<\/p>\n

The design is based around the layout of the text and the colours used in the illustrations.<\/p>\n
