[Bassano del Grappa, Remondini, ca. 1780-1810]. Large, folio sheet of wove paper, oblong (36.0 x 46.0 cm). Loose, as issued.

A beautiful sheet of printed and painted paper, or papier dominoté (French) or Buntpapier (German), probably meant as endpapers for folio-sized books, or as a wallpaper example. The sheet is dyed yellow, with undulating, semicircular red floral bands around yellow and blue fields with floral elements, and smaller crosses of red and blue. This is, most probably, the work of Remondini, a firm of print publishers based in Bassano del Grappa and active from the mid-17th century to 1860. Uncut, hence the edges a bit irregular. Some marginal fraying, and wrinkling, probably as a result of the dying, and with a central, vertical fold. In excellent condition: the printing strong.
