Henry Benjamin Wheatley (1838–1917) was a prolific writer on bibliography, literature and the arts. These two works, published in the 1880s, provide an illustrated history of fine English and continental bookbindings, and discuss them from both an artistic and practical viewpoint. He includes examples notable for beauty or historic significance.
