For over a century, the Cockerell family name represented the highest quality bookmaking. Though no longer in business, the Cockerell and Son Bindery remains celebrated for their unique style of paper marbling, developed by the late Sydney (Sandy) M. Cockerell. Described as a "latter-day Leonardo," Sandy Cockerell possessed not only an artist's talents but a scientist's mind and an engineer's skill as well. He took the painstaking tradition of handmade marbled papers and found a way to produce the strikingly complex designs at high speeds and volumes. By improving existing equipment and creating his own gadgets and tools when that which he needed did not already exist, Cockerell embraced new mass production techniques. For his contributions to the paper arts, Sandy Cockerell was awarded an OBE and an honorary doctorate from Cambridge. When we launched Paperblanks journals in the early 1990s, a selection of his designs graced some of our first covers. We are honored to return these iconic marbled papers to our collection with this black, white, and red Rubedo design.
