Descriptive NotesLoring: spatter paste paper.

Here the paste to be applied to the paper is made very thin and 'brushed' (sprinkled) onto the paper by "rubbing a stiff brush filled with paste across a hair sieve. The sieve was held well above the paper and moved across the surface as the fine specks of color were sprayed through it onto the paper."

The primary color for this example is blue.

Collection NotesThis sample is scanned from a book cover.

This book has brown and black daubed paste endsheets.
