finely bound by Hering
An excellent example of Whitby's Paraphrase and Commentary on the New Testament finely bound in dark blue morocco by Hering of 9 Newman Street, London.The bindery was established on St. Martin's Street in London by the German immigrant Charles Hering Sr. in 1794, soon acquiring a reputation among the leading bibliophiles of the period as the artistic successor to Roger Payne.
Following Hering Sr.'s death in 1812 the bindery moved to 9 Newman Street where it continued in operation until 1845. The firm's reputation for fine craftsmanship was sufficient to carry it over the loss of its founder,growing in time to account the Prince Regent amongst its patrons. (See Judith Goldstein Marks, 'Bookbinding Practices of the Hering Family, 1794-1844', The British Library Journal, vol. 6, no. 1, 1980).
