artifact. However, Fogelmark discovered that virtually everything written since Weale's study has been based on a
fundamental mistake. In Fogelmark's search for literature on blind panels, he had not been able to find a single
item dealing with the all-important questions of production and technique. He now presents decisive evidence
that panel stamps were cast in metal rather than hand engraved and were often produced in multiple copies for
wide distribution. Identical stamps could be used concurrently in different shops, different cities and even
different countries. Fogelmark's research is based on many years research in a large number of European libraries
and a detailed study of various technical and artistic features of the panels. This is a distinguished and highly
original contribution to bookbinding history, which greatly extends knowledge of the late medieval booktrade. An
exciting work, handsomely produced at The Stinehour Press. [Order No. 32487]
