Author:
Böhmin, Johanne Schristiane
Imprint Date:
1827
Publishing Colophon:
Niedercunersdorf, Inn 13 Noo. 1827.
Binding:
Stitched pamphlet with blockprinted paper wrapper and large cut paper manuscript title label
Paper:
Orange surface-coloring with two-color blockprint: black rhombic dotwork and silver diamond pattern
Collector's Notes:
Unprinted margins, deckled edges on fore and tail edges, and edge bleed from surface coloring all suggest the wrapper as half of a full sheet. This design is illustrative of metal pin printing blocks: note the regularity of the graded dots and the occasional wonkiness that occurs when these pins are bent along the edge of the block.
