Not on view

Perhaps the most important book on British marbling, "The Whole Art of Marbling" provides a detailed account of the methods and materials of the craft of marbling and gives instructions for making approximately thirty traditional and "modern" patterns. In addition, it instructs the reader how to use the completed marbled papers in home decoration and how to marble on cloth.


Illustrated: pp. 48–49, progressive stages of Spanish marbling
