Enfant's Kin Shapes Flexible Book Binding In NYC
A great grandson of Washington's architect and engineer, Charles L Enfant of New York, devised a flexible binding process that prevents glue cracks. Born in Alsace, he moved to America after refining photography inks, later inventing a billfold and other devices. He recalls his forebear's capital city quest and his own late night work to outpace prying eyes.
