The main objective of this study is to make known the architects of the industrial bookbinding carried out between the 19th and 20th centuries and deposited in the Library of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. For the elaboration of this type of binding it is necessary to have a previous work of design and engraving of the plates that will be used for the ornamentation of the covers and spines. In addition to the binding tasks carried out by a bookbinder, also in this type of bookbindings the competition of two professionals who had not appeared in the construction or ornamentation of a bookbinding to date, such as illustrators/designers and engravers, is very important. Both will be the ones who shape the binding designs, many of them called speakers, by transmitting the content of the work with their ornamentation. The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando has a rich and interesting collection of industrial bookbindings with the signatures of the bookbinder, engraver and illustrators, some of them Spanish and others foreign.
