This Book of Common Prayer and the accompanying Bible (RCIN 1081332) was published in 1911 by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and was bound to commemorate the coronation of King George V on 22 June 1911.
Due to its binding, this book was one of those selected by Olwen Hedley in the 1960s as a fine example of bookbinding in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Hedley’s ‘Additional Bookbindings’ serve as a supplement to the catalogue of fine bindings compiled in 1893 by the Royal Librarian Richard Rivington Holmes.
