[Bassano del Grappa, Remondini, [ca. 1820-1830]. Large, folio sheet of wove 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. Double wood block printing of two floral bands, separated by "wrought gold chains". The floral bands printed in blue, red, yellow, and green The chains printed in yellow and red, with some additional green. 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. In this case, it is an early 19th-century (re)print, most probably with the use of 18th-century woodblocks. Uncut, the edges, therefore, a bit uneven; central vertical fold, otherwise, very good: the printing strong. Kopylov, Italiens, 130.
