Inhaltsangabe

Rich in ornamentation, decorated papers have been in use for centuries as 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 be found, they often go unnoticed.The Olga Hirsch collection at the British Library contains some of the best and most exquisite examples of decorated paper and this ruled journal reproduces one of its stunning, richly ornamented papers.
