The recipe on marbling is identical with those appearing in many l8th and early l9th century books of secrets, including those issued in America at Norwith in l797 and in other eastern cities in the early l9th century. See under LEMERY, and under VALUABLE SECRETS CONCERNING THE ARTS AND TRADES.

  • Content: xii, ll8, [6] pp
  • Binding: Modern cloth & marbled boards
  • Notes: Published by Geert van Daal, the Dutch bookbinder and marbler, who sent RJW this copy asking that he make an English translation for van Daal to publish. Received August l2, 20ll. It is a facsimile edition of an original manuscript book, dating probably the to the l830s, a transcription of its German text, and a Dutch translation by van Daal, who mistakenly attributed it to A G. Zander, a bookbinder or owner, whose name is stamped on its front cover, but who apparently had nothing to do with the publication of this work. The first part on gilding is by Wehrend; the second part on marbling is by J.A.F. Scheide, a master bookbinder of Berlin who published its marbling text at that city in 1845 as a pamphlet under the title, Die Marmirer-Kunst. A third part, on dyeing and coloring leather, is anonymous. Wehrend’s initial part on gilding was published as a pamphlet at Duisberg in l84l under the title, Das Ganze des Vergoldens für Buchbinder. Van Daal, who is a nice guy, really botched this one up. He admitted his errors to RJW during a telephone conversation he made to RJW on September 4, 20ll.
