Jean Picard (bookbinder)
text:
Jean Picard was a French bookbinder, active around 1540. Picard is notable for having bound many books for the bibliophile Jean Grolier. He may also have worked at the French royal bindery. While the Grolier bindings have long been sought after, the identities of the binders who made them were forgotten until twentieth-century scholarship threw light on Picard and other binders.
The British Library's bindings catalogue attributes a number of bindings to Picard: they are almost all on books bound
