First Edition of Owen Jones's splendidly illuminated psalter, a luxury publication with beautiful chromolithographed full-page "illuminations" in gold, red, three shades of blue and black on heavy paper. The work was initially issued in parts. Jones dedicated the work to Queen Victoria, hence the name "Victoria psalter." The original high-relief calf binding, finished in the Leighton Son & Hodge studio, was probably produced by Remnant & Edmonds using Frederick Leake's patented "relievo" process, a method of molding designs in relief in leather that could be applied to such things as wall hangings as well as books. This style of binding was done in England between 1846 and about 1862 on a small number of deluxe volumes, beginning with Owen Jones's edition of Gray's Elegy (1846). Relievo bindings were intended to emulate the elaborate jeweled bindings of the Middle Ages; to create them the Remnant & Edmonds bindery employed a very large and powerful fly embossing press. The Remnant & Edmonds bindery won a prize medal for this type of binding at the Great Exhibition of 1851. It is most likely that in this instance the Remnant & Edmonds bindery undertook the production of this relievo binding for Leightons since they were the only bindery in England known to have operated such a powerful fly embossing press. .
