One of Armstrong’s most celebrated bindings, Pippa Passes, is unusual for its use of a white cloth onlay and finely engraved, three-color stamping to depict the blossoms at the top of the design. Pippa Passes marks a shift in Armstrong’s designs from simple central vignettes to designs that expand to fill the cover with heavier ornament and sophisticated use of gold and color stamping.
