Collector's Notes:
I found another example of this paper used as a covering material for a half-leather binding in the Seminario Barbarigo library, with a 1786 Montefiascone imprint. A stylistically similar paper (in both design and palette) is reproduced in Mick's Altes Buntpapier and attributed to ~1790s Vienna (pp. 66-68).
