Franz Weisse, one of the great German marblers and teachers, published his essential marbling text in 1940. The bulk of the first edition was destroyed during World War II, but seven editions followed. This edition was translated from German by the American marbling historian Richard J. Wolfe, who also wrote an introduction and marbled the original papers within.
