An Anthology of Decorated Papers: A Sourcebook for Designers

A collection of gorgeously reproduced decorated papers alongside a thoughtful and carefully researched history of this often-overlooked art
Rich in ornamentation, decorated papers have been in use for centuriesâ€•asÂ wrappers and endpapers for books, as the backing for playing cards, and even as
linings for chests and cases. Yet despite the many contexts in which they can beÂ found, they often go unnoticed. This remarkable new book not only showcases
several hundred of the best and most exquisite examples of decorated paper butÂ also provides a fascinating introduction to its history, traditions, and techniques.
Drawing on the Olga Hirsch collection at the British Library, one of the largest andÂ most diverse collections of decorated papers in the world, this beautifully producedÂ anthology will both delight and inspire designers, bibliophiles, and anyone with aÂ love of pattern and decoration. 256 illustrations
