[Fine Binding | Alice Pattinson] Guest Book

"Guest Book". Appears to have been used as a guest book by a single family from 1920-1967; inscribed "F.M. Elliott and E.K. Elliott 1920" on the free flyleaf. Initially used for "Woodhall, Castle Hedingham, Essex" in 1920, then "Treskelly, Marnhull, Dorset" in 1921, then "Delphi Lodge, Leenane, County Galway" in 1924--still in existence today, now as a hotel. Approximately half of the book's pages have been filled.  Bound by Alice Pattinson (and very likely George Fisher) in dark green crushed morocco: signed "19 AP 04", with Pattinson's AP monogram. Large arts & crafts rectangular design to the center of the front cover, decorated with poppies and leaves connected with swirling gouges, as well as small tan inlaid roundels. Large border of dual overlapping fillets in to rows, with small tan inlaid roundels intersecting the outer border at each dual fillet. Similar design to five of six spine compartments, with "Guest Book" in the second compartment. Triple gilt fillets to dentelles
