This is the first English translation of Josef Halfer’s manual on marbling, which still inspires marblers today. Halfer practiced marbling when it was being replaced by mechanically produced substitutes. His innovative applications of scientific advances resolved earlier technical problems, resulting in an efflorescence of new patterns and a revival of interest in the craft.
