Rose Adler was born in Paris on September 23, 1890. Born into money and an artist family,r she found her way into book arts, specializing in Art Deco design bindings. By the age of thirty, her bindings were exhibited by members of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, which she would later join in 1923. The elegance of her bindings came from their modernity and use of fine materials, including inlays of semi-precious stones and an "edge-to-edge" lining. ![]()
