The Book of Visions and Instructions of Blessed Angela of Foligno

The surface of this page is decorated with a marbled paper pattern, featuring organic, swirling spots in shades of red, purple, brown, and black. Marbling is a historical bookbinding technique where colored pigments are floated on a liquid surface and manipulated into patterns before being transferred onto paper. This specific "spotted" style was commonly used for durable endpapers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
