Korneuberg, bey Johann Carl Edlinger, bürgerl. Buchbinder. 1797.
Binding:
Full leather binding elaborate gold tooling and block-printed endpapers in a full calf lederschuber with blind tooling and 3 different decorated paper linings, plus printed waste.
Paper:
Two-color blockprint: checkerboard-oriented green squares with alterating red poppies and dots; two-color blockprint: red and yellow hexagonal geometric pattern; yellow and black sponged tupfpapier; two-color blockprint: blue and yellow floral pinwheel pattern
Collector's Notes:
A design similar to the floral pinwheel pattern on the endpapers, in a different colorway, is used as a box lining on 24.084. Both of these patterns are similar but not identical to the that shown as part of the late 18th c. Bertinazzi sample book reproduced in Kopylov's 'Papiers Dominotés Italiens'. See examples #26, p. 323 and #346, p.371 (pinwheel spins in opposite direction, center relief is square rather than daisy-shaped).
