A Collection of 18th-Century Decorated Papers and Paper Bindings
Title:
24.031 Block-printed Paper Pull-off Case
Author:
Imprint Date:
1815
Publishing Colophon:
Chambersburg, PA [AAS Example]
Binding:
Full block printed paper two-piece paper slipcase.
Paper:
Two-color blockprint: alternating stripes of blue with raindrops, red with suns and quincunxes. Worn areas show an earlier covering of full blue veined paste paper.
Collector's Notes:
This box was purchased with 24.031 but the two are not associated—the box is too large for that binding. I saw a similar pattern used as a book covering in the stacks of the American Antiquarian Society (Kleine Catechismus, Chambersburg, PA, 1815).
