The bookbinder was very possibly James Hayday (1796-1872), one of the most inventive binders of the 19th century and one of the few to be deemed worthy of an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography; books bound by him became and still are considerably sought after. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services exclusively for Oxford University Press publications (of which this is one). Hayday was specifically engaged by Gardner to bind his copies of the finely printed, small format 'Oxford' Bibles, and his output ranged from the basic plain dark hard-grained morocco trade bindings to the finely finished and worked up examples similar to this example, presumably for the luxury end of the market. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, later introduced Hayday to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, a finisher, Hayday again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861. Welsh, 1852. Welsh lists a slightly earlier edition of the same size.
