A finales del siglo XVIII se produce en la encuadernación un cambio desde el punto de vista decorativo predominando las estructuras formadas por ruedas dentro del movimiento neoclásico, dando lugar a primeros del siglo XIX al estilo imperio, con variantes como el estilo cortina en España y el estilo Bozérian en Francia. El presente artículo estudia las encuadernaciones de estos estilos depositadas en la Biblioteca de la Real Academia de la Historia, identificando algunos de sus encuadernadores, estructuras y motivos decorativos.

The style to the cathedral is one of the romantic decorative variants that were produced from 1820 in France by Joseph Thouvenin. From that moment ornamentations with these plates were made in other countries, among them Spain, where they highlighted bookbinders such as Antonio Suárez, Pedro Pastor, Tomás Cobo and the Ginesta workshop. The present work tries to study each one of the bindings of this decorative type deposited in the Library of the Royal Academy of the History, emphasizing in the materials, techniques of construction and decoration and the state of conservation, besides studying and identifying the former owners and bookbinding workshops by means of irons and plates. To achieve this objective an inventory of all the bindings of the Royal Academy has been carried out, followed by a selection and digitalization of the style bindings to the cathedral, in order to later carry out the individual study of each copy, facilitating the identification of similar bindings, signed or not, and ownership marks that are found in other institutions..
