Owen Jones: Original "The Victoria Psalter" (The Psalms of David), circa 1861, folio, presentation inscription with a very neat inscription presented to Frederick Turton Physician of Penn Fields Wolverhampton (born 1836- died 1875) by London "Royal College of Physicians" in 1867.
Bound in elaborately embossed calf over wooden boards with beveled edges and all edges gilt. Relievo bindings were “made of heavily molded and embossed leather left to its natural color [and] are usually associated with the English designer Owen Jones. Like papier-mache bindings, Relievo bindings recall both medieval bindings and wood carvings and often occur on ecclesiastical books” (University of Rochester).
104 chromolithographed plates including titles and dedication pages First Edition. With a dedication accepted by Queen Victoria, this very large and impressive work is considered his finest achievement in book design and illumination
