Notes Part of the Charles Ramsden Collection of Signed Bindings. See Julien Flety, Dictionnaire des reliures francais ayant exerce de 1800 a nos jours, 1988. Macchi states: first half century, Paris, bound by Capé. His name does not appear in any of the Almanach of the period. A half calf binding on D'Arlincourt's Ismailie (1828) and a full calf binding on Beranger's works dated 1837 are in the C. Ramsden collection (French Bookbinders, p. 46-47). Capé is an example of a binder who did his best work at the start and never reached the same level in his later and more prosperous old age. Mr. Ellic Howe, 5 Thurloe Close London S.W., possessed a specimen book of leathers and papers, bound by Capé about 1840 and inscribed as follows: "Cet album d'échantillons a été composé par Capé, relieur du Roi, au Louvre pour moi L. HUGOT (Conservateur des Bibliothèques Royales) qui le conserve comme un souvenir de mon cher Capé. Interesting specimens are: veau antique (highly surfaced); veau solitaire (?); papier ombré (marbled); chiné (highly surfaced); d'Annonay (blotted effect).
