| Abstract: | Richard J. Wolfe (1928-2017) was a historian, librarian, and author of Marbled Paper: Its History, Techniques and Patterns (Univ. of Pennsylvania Press 1990; Oak Knoll Press 2018), one of the most comprehensive histories of paper marbling published in English. The Marbled Paper Specimens Collection of the Richard J. Wolfe Collection of Paper Marbling and Allied Book Arts contains vintage and artists’ marbled papers that Wolfe collected, as well as the marbled papers Wolfe produced during the course of his career. The Richard J. Wolfe Collection of Paper Marbling and Allied Book Arts also includes, in a separate archival collection, correspondence, research notes, manuscript drafts, and proof copies for Wolfe’s books on paper marbling and paper making. In addition to the archival collections, the Wolfe collection includes more than 400 printed works from Wolfe’s personal library, chiefly on paper making, paper decorating, and paper marbling. |
This collection is open for research.

The Richard J. Wolfe Collection of Paper Marbling and Allied Book Arts was acquired by the University of Chicago Library in 2020 from Wolfe’s widow, Elin L. Wolfe, through a gift-purchase agreement.
Richard J. Wolfe was born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was raised as one of six children (including a twin brother, Paul) of Francis X. and Helen Miller Wolf. Wolfe studied classics and modern languages at the University of Pittsburgh and received an A.B. in 1949. Wolfe joined the U.S. Air Force as an officer and during the Korean War served as an intelligence translator. Following his service, Wolfe earned a master’s degree in library science from what is now Carnegie-Mellon University.
Wolfe began his career as a librarian at the New York Public Library, and his bibliographical work there on early American sheet music led to a scholarly interest in the marbled papers that often appeared in the bindings. In 1965, Wolfe became curator of rare books and manuscripts at Harvard University’s Countway Library of Medicine, a position he held for thirty years. In 1999, Wolfe retired to Philadelphia, where he lived with his family until his death in 2017.
Throughout his career as a librarian and in retirement, Wolfe researched and published extensively on the history, techniques, and art of paper marbling. He also became expert in the practice of marbling. His most influential work, Marbled Paper: Its History, Techniques and Patterns was first published in 1990 by the University of Pennsylvania Press. It remains a definitive work on the subject and was published in a second edition and with a new introduction by Oak Knoll Press in 2018. Other significant works that include paper samples marbled by Wolfe or that were written or translated by Wolfe include: James Sumner’s The Mysterious Marbler (Bird & Bull Press 1976); Franz Weisse’s The Art of Marbling (Bird & Bull Press 1980); The Role of the Mann Family of Dedham, Massachusetts in the Marbling of Paper (self-published 1981); On Improvements in Marbling the Edges of Books and Paper (Bird & Bull Press 1983); Three Early French Essays on Paper Marbling (Bird & Bull Press 1987); and Josef Halfer and the Revival of the Art of Marbling Paper (Oak Knoll 2018).
The Richard J. Wolfe Collection of Marbled Paper and Allied Book Arts Marbled Paper Samples Collection contains approximately 15,000 paper samples. It is divided into two series: Series I: Samples Produced by Richard J. Wolfe and Series II: Vintage and Artists’ Marbled Papers. Marbling patterns are described using terminology found in Wolfe’s Marbled Paper: Its History, Techniques and Patterns (Univ. of Pennsylvania Press 1990; Oak Knoll Press 2018).
Series I consists of approximately 13,000 papers marbled by Wolfe himself. The series is further subdivided into three subseries: 1) Marbled Paper Patterns, 2) Additional Samples and Experiments, and 3) Marbled for Publication, which contains marbled papers that Wolfe may have produced for use as covers, dustjackets, or figures in publications. Among these are patterns Wolfe produced for use in The Whole Art of Bookbinding, The Whole Process of Marbling Paper (W. Thomas Taylor 1987), The Role of the Mann Family of Dedham, Massachusetts in the Marbling of Paper in Nineteenth Century America and in the Printing of Music, the Making of Cards, and Other Booktrade Activities (Privately printed 1981), and Three Early French Essays on Paper Marbling, 1642-1765 (Bird & Bull Press 1987).
Series II contains Wolfe’s collection of approximately 2,000 marbled and decorated paper and objects made by other artists. It includes specimens produced in Europe and the United States in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Many of the paper specimens in this series were used as covers or endpapers in book bindings and were annotated with provenance information by Wolfe. This series chiefly replicates Wolfe’s own arrangement at the box and folder level.
