Christopher was born in Blackheath from an early age showed an interest in art, attending art classes at the Whitechapel Art Gallery on Saturday mornings, before attending the Junior Art School at Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts at the age of 13, progressing to the Senior Art School at the age of 15. At 17 he gained his National Diploma in Design and took a part-time position at Camberwell assisting Frank Martin in teaching wood engraving, lettering and illuminating under Vernon Shearer. He later attended the Royal College of Art from 1960-1963, additionally studying fine binding for his last two years there. Whilst there he had to complete twelve bindings for his final diploma show (the bindings by Clarkson in this auction are understood to date from this time). At the same time, he assisted Howard Nixon at the British Museum with his bookbinding rubbing project. He graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1963 with an ARCA Diploma in Graphic Art and as a result, was invited by Jeff Clements to teach at the Plymouth School of Art and Design. In 1964 he worked under Tony Cains at Douglas Cockerell & Son which was run by Sydney Cockerell. In late 1966 he joined the English Government team in Florence to help conserve the flood-damaged volumes and manuscripts, working with Tony Cains, Peter Waters, Don Etherington and Roger and Rita Powell. It was during this time that he and fellow binders formulated the principles of book conservation. In 1972 he was appointed Head of Rare Book Preservation at the Library of Congress, Washington. He later held a position at The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, being the first conservator of their manuscript collection, before, in 1979 accepting the post as the first Conservation Technical Officer at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. From 1987-1998 he taught at West Dean College and on his return to Oxford set up in private practice, working as a consultant to the Bodleian Library, The Wordsworth Library and Hereford Cathedral Mappa Mundi Trust and Chained Library. In 2004 Christopher was awarded the Plowden Gold Medal of the Royal Warrant Holders Association in recognition of his contribution to the conservation profession.
