A simple case-bound limp vellum volume with the seal of George III.

Coulon's text is bound in a rather simple limp vellum binding, with the cover attached in the case style, the endbands forming the attachment between textblock and cover. This book is from the collection of George the III, with a small tooled seal as a centerpiece. Such a binding may have been considered temporary, despite the armorial tooling.
