Zweite Auflage von Richard J. Wolfes Opus Magnum zur Geschichte und Technik des Marmorierens. Der Bibliothekar und Marmorierer Wolfe (1928-2017) fasst in diesem fulminanten Fachbuch seine Erkenntnisse aus über 25 Jahren Forschungen zusammen. Diese führten ihn durch zahlreiche europäische Bibliotheken hin zu den ersten Originalausgaben der seltenen Fachbücher zum Marmorieren und zu fast vergessenen Buntpapiermusterbüchern. Der „Wolfe“ ist bis in die heutige Zeit das unerreichte Standardwerk zu allen Fragen des Marmorierens.

Richard J. Wolfe (1928-2017) was a rare book librarian, practicing marbler, and collector of marbled papers and books about marbling. This book is the result of more than twenty-five years of research and practical experience. Wolfe personally tracked down and sorted out historical records of marbling from their original sources, and he drew on his own extensive experience as a practitioner to write eloquently on technical and stylistic questions. The resulting study meticulously reconstructs the rise and fall of the craft and recounts its history, techniques, and patterns in such a way as to put all aspects of this fascinating craft in proper perspective.

When first published, Marbled Paper was immediately recognized as the most comprehensive study of marbling to that point, and its status as the standard history of the subject has not been diminished by more recent works. For that reason, and with the goal of making it available again to scholars, students, and practitioners of marbling. This second edition in cooperation with the Wolfe family, is completed with minor corrections left by the author.
