A finely coloured sheet of printed paper, or papier dominoté (French) or Buntpapier (German), probably meant as endpapers for folio-sized books or other means, such as packing or decorating the interior of furniture. Full-size, uncut. Weak, vertical fold, as often, otherwise, in excellent condition, the printing strong.
