Floral Ribbon Blockprint Endleaf

Author:

1770

Publishing Colophon: 

Binding:

Loose blockprinted paper sheet

Paper:

Three-color blockprint: red, yellow, and purple floral and lace ribbon-imitation pattern.

Collector's Notes: 

Dating is approximate based on stylistic elements and similarity to examples shown in Haemmerle's section on Kattunpapier, pp. 145-163, and Heijbroek & Greven, p. 74. This sheet clearly shows seams where the ~7” square block was tiled and slightly overlapped. Previous use as an endpaper is evidence by the torn edge with notches for sewing supports and remnants of a paper hook.
