One of 112 copies, this one of 10 copies specially bound with 7 additional samples of marbled paper, this copy number 4. 34 samples of original marbled paper tipped in. Small 4to., 27x19cm, [98pp.] Full black goatskin, spine lettered in gilt; although not called for in the text, this is presumably the original binding of the 10 special copies.

Fine.
An important survey of English marbled paper, with an essay by Wakeman accompanied by 34 original samples, including work by Richard J. Wolfe, Michael Mitchell, Douglas Cockerell and a number of historic examples. A title which is already scarce in commerce, the special edition with 7 additional samples is exceptionally so.
