Item Number: 149528 Title: Marbled Paper : Its History, Techniques, and Patterns : with special reference to the relationship of marbling to bookbinding in Europe and the Western world Author: Wolfe, Richard J Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781584563600 Description: New Castle: Oak Knoll Press, 2018. 30cm., pbk., 245pp., 350 color, 80 b&w illus. Second edition, with corrections (1st edition 1990) Summary: Richard J. Wolfe (1928-2017) was a rare book librarian, practicing marbler, and collector of marbled papers and books about marbling. This book is the result of more than twenty-five years of research and practical experience. Wolfe personally tracked down and sorted out historical records of marbling from their original sources, and he drew on his own extensive experience as a practitioner to write eloquently on technical and stylistic questions. The resulting study meticulously reconstructs the rise and fall of the craft and recounts its history, techniques, and patterns in such a way as to put all aspects of this fascinating craft in proper perspective. When first published, Marbled Paper was immediately recognized as the most comprehensive study of marbling to that point, and its status as the standard history of the subject has not been diminished by more recent works.
