🖼A fore-edge painting is a technique of painting on the edges of the pages of a book. The artwork can only be seen when the pages are fanned, as seen in the animation below. When the book is closed, you don't see the image 🖼because it is hidden by the gilding (i.e., the gold leaf applied to the edges of the page). #foreedgepainting #foreedge #art #art🎨 #painting #history #bookstagram #book #books #learning #educateyourself #education (at Rogers Park, Chicago, Illinois)

Paste paper designs are common in book decoration, and this is a great example applied to this book's edges. Designs like this were made by applying a thick paste mixed with paint, then using tools or fingers to create a pattern. The edges of this book have seen better days, but the patterned panels are still visible.⠀ ⠀ Rare PA6644 .A2 1780⠀ ⠀ #ForeEdgeFriday #foreedge #bookhistory #bookarts #books #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #decorativepaper #pattern #design #art #history #libraries #librariesofinstagram #iglibraries #specialcollections #rarebooks #universityofmissouri #mizzou #ellislibrary (at Ellis Library)
