| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe and Miura: Italian on Turkish pattern, Overprinted.
Historically, this is the oldest of Western marbled patterns and dates back to as early as the middle part of the 15th century.
Since this pattern is probably the earliest and the most simple it also is the base or jump off point for a large number of other patterns.
Normally this 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 other follow and become the 'vein' colors for the latter thrown inks. In this case first the Turkish then the Italian pattern was printed using a lithographic process rather than being made on a bath.
brThe primary colors for this example are brown, pink, black and gold.
