The Life of Gen. Francis Marion

$2,000.00

The Life of Gen. Francis Marion, a Celebrated Partisan Officer in the Revolutionary War Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia by Brig. Gen. P. Horry and M.L. Weems. Philadelphia: Joseph Allen, 1856.

Full goatskin binding with backpared onlays, tooling and hand-titling in blind, three-color hand-sewn endbands and three edges sprinkled in three colors of acrylic. Marbled endpapers by Pamela Smith. Bound 2016.

7.5 x 4.5 x 1”

This binding was created for an exhibit in Charleston, SC. As a Midwesterner unfamiliar with the area, I inquired about local icons and incorporated several: an antiquarian text block on the local Revolutionary War hero “The Swamp Fox” decorated with South Carolina’s palmetto motif, on a background of the once ubiquitous “Charleston green.”
