A Dedication to Craft: North Bennet Street School @ 125

"A successful bookbinding is a suit of armor that looks like a tuxedo and fits like a glove."

An exhibit showcasing the craftsmanship of graduates of Boston's famed North Bennet Street School runs through March 21, 2010 at the Concord Museum. The above quote is posted by cases containing examples of books beautifully bound in wood, tooled leather, and decorative papers. In addition to bookbinding, exquisite furniture, clocks, custom carpentry, locksmithing, instruments, and jewelry are on display.
