Jan Sobota received his “Artistic Bookbinding” diploma from the
School for Applied Arts in Prague in 1957; the title “Master of Applied Arts” in
Czechoslovakia in 1969; and the title “Meister der Einbandkunst” in Germany in
1977. In addition to his bookbinding work, he teaches and lectures widely.
Bradel structure with floating back. Green pressed lacquered endpapers. Sewn
on four natural tapes. Hand colored silk headbands. Green goatskin back with
one fishskin strip on spine. Title and author printed with beige foil.
Wooden boards covered with zebra wood veneer. Dark green underlay.
Sections on both boards represent the Brazos. Natural material, wood,
leather and fishskin, together with modest, unpretentious design reflect the
author’s trip on the Brazos River. Slipcase would be similar to the one
that is exhibited with the example.
