| Title | Vintage 19th c. marbled paper, Italian Overprinted on Turkish pattern |
| Artist | Unknown |
| Date | 19th century |
| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe and Miura: Italian Overprinted on Turkish pattern.
Normally the Turkish pattern is created when one or more colors are thrown onto the surface of the bath using a marbling brush. The first colors thrown tend to constrict as and become the 'vein' colors for the latter thrown inks. However, this particular sample has been printed with a lithographic process for both patterns as was popular towards the end of the 1800's.
The primary colors for this sample are light brown, peach, and black.

| 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.
