Papier dominoté [Colour-printed paper]
A large, colour-printed sheet.
[Bassano del Grappa, Remondini, ca. 1790-1800]. Large, folio sheet of laid paper, oblong (37.2 x 44.0 cm). Loose, as issued.
A finely coloured sheet of printed and painted paper, or papier dominoté (French) or Buntpapier (German), probably meant as endpapers for folio-sized books. Wood block printing of regular floral pattern of red and green diagonal lines and red dots. Almost certainly the work of Remondini, a firm of print publishers based in Bassano del Grappa and active from the mid-17th century to 1860. Uncut. Central, vertical fold, and a few adjacet creasings. Marginal fraying, some weak wrinkling; otherwise, very good: the printing strong.
