| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe and Miura: Gold vein Overprinted over Spanish moiré pattern.
Though related in terms of end appearance, an 'overprint' is not the same process as 'Double marble' (Miura pgs 120-121). A double marble is created when a single paper has been through the marbling process twice where both patterns are on top of one another.
An overprint is created when a paper, already marbled, is then printed on top of with another pattern using a lithographic process.
This pattern is created by first completing a Spanish moiré on Turkish pattern (in this case, the spots are too blended to see well). Then after that paper has been dried, the marbled side would be printed over with a Gold vein pattern (Italian pattern using metallic ink) using a lithographic process.
The primary colors for this example are red and gold.

| Collection Notes | The flat sample from which this photo was scanned is a salvaged endsheet. There is no record of the original item from which these endsheets were taken. Information regarding creation dates has therefore been estimated (using Wolfe), typically by century.
