Marbled Monday

This sunny Marbled Monday, as we here in Wisconsin wait for the weather to catch up to the seasons and feel spring-like, I’ve selected The Seasons by Scottish poet and playwright James Thomson (1700-1748). There have been many editions of The Seasons since its first publication as a complete series of four poems in 1730—this one was published by The Nonesuch Press in 1927. It features five illustrations by an artist simply identified as Jacquier, who I have been unable to otherwise identify. The images are copperplate engravings made by C. Sigrist that were hand colored using watercolor through stencils at The Curwen Press.

The marbling is a very curly French curl or snail pattern, featuring red, blue, orange, cream, and a greenish-grey. This pattern is created by first dropping colors in to the water bath and then taking a comb with regularly spaced teeth and swirling it in the water bath to make the snail pattern.

Marbled papers used for the cover on Isl Ms 710, Aḥmad al-Ṭabbākh al-Azharī's (أحمد الطباخ الأزهري) Arabic translation of an Italian mathematical compendium, which he titled al-Bahjah al-sanīyah fī mabdaʾ al-ʻulūm al-riyāḍīyah (البهجة السنية في مبدأ العلوم الرياضية)

In his preface, al-Ṭabbākh indicates that he studied Italian and prepared this translation in one of the schools established in Egypt under the educational initiatives of Muhammad Ali Pasha (r.1805-1848).

In his colophon, al-Ṭabbākh indicates that he wrote out this fair copy of his translation on the last day of the month of Dhū al-Qaʻdah 1239 (ca 27 July 1824)

Marbled Monday Pattern Puzzler

There are three volumes to this late 18th century set of biblical criticism. Based on the similarities of the marbling patterns we wondered if the papers might have originated in the same sheet? Maybe not, but it was still fun to try to line up the patterns!

This set was owned by 19th century Unitarian minister and and scholar, Convers Francis.

Niemeyer, August Hermann. Charakteristick der Bibel. 5. Aufl. Halle : im allen soliden Buschhandlungen, [1794-95].

Happy Halloween & Macabre Marbled Monday!

The Parkman-Webster case is one of the creepiest from our trials collection: shortly after the disappearance of Boston businessman George Parkman in 1849, his dismembered cadaver was discovered in professor John White Webster’s laboratory at Harvard Medical College.

It’s one of the earliest instances of the use of forensic evidence to identify a body.

Marbled Monday

This week's Marbled Monday is all about The Art of the Book! The Art of the Book: A Review of Some Recent European and American Work in Typography, Page Decoration & Binding was created by Charles Holme and published in New York and London by "The Studio" Ltd. in 1914. It includes examples of many different contemporary trends and styles and elements of book design, some of which are shown here.

It also includes a lovely binding with some interesting marbled paper. It is half bound in leather with marbled paper over boards. I say the marbling is interesting because it doesn't really follow an established pattern. It's most nearly a Turkish or stone pattern, but includes some irregular swirling that was done with a stylus. The colors are a great contrasting mix of light and dark blue, orange, and brownish maroon. The light blue is actually just the color of the paper itself, which we can tell because of the wear to the cover where it has worn through the marbling.

Rather than work on any of the projects I've currently got in progress (some languishing for over a year now), I spent the end of last week making two new little books.

Very much inspired by some books I saw in a shop window (next to a $450 copying press) and the replenishing of carrageenan appropriate for marbling (that "food safe" stuff I bought on Amazon did not work). My marbling remains iffy as I continue to try and branch out beyond the inks my Jacquard kit came with, so the consistency of design is weak and the pattern not the one I aspired to. BUT! I really do like the results!

Marbled textblock edges, endpapers, headbands, and cover papers are the "same" pattern for each book, one a blue/purple/white swirl and the other a pale red, red/black splotchy/swirl -- both kissed with a hint of sparkle from the Pearlescent White Liquid Acrylic ink I recently picked up.

MmMMmMmm... I do so love my macro shots of marbling....

#marbling both sides of the paper was an interesting experience -- worked better than expected #(you'd think it'd be 'too much' but at this scale & with the corners done in black it's not!)#will certainly be trying this again - especially as (if?) my marbling improves 🤞#will have another post later about contents & full scale shots #macro mondays #macro photography #little book #little books #bookbinding #marbling #paper marbling

The many patterns of #MarbledMonday on display all at once! These volumes are all from the same set, but were obviously bound at different times and with different papers. They were spotted in the reading room recently, where they were paged for a group of K-12 researchers working on the history of Marie Antoinette. French Revolutionary Tracts Collection, DC141 .R4.

Not to barge in out of nowhere to start being a hater but the vanilla model for salmon meat in Skyrim......

#i was referencing it earlier and forgot what the vamilla model looked like because like. the food was the first thing i always modded #like it's not really the fidelity that i have a problem with because yeah it's a 2011 game but im of course referencing actual #cuts of salmon fillet at the same time and the vanilla model just doesn't follow any kind of traditional type of cut #it's obviously not a fillet half.#like cutting the entire side right. it's not #it is most certainly not a steak or a fillet BUT THE WILDEST PART IS #THE COOKED ONE IS NOT ONLY A DIFFERENT MODEL BUT IT IS CALLED SALMON STEAK BUT IT'S NOT SHAPED LIKE A STEAK CUT #IT'S SHAPPED LIKE A FILLET??? and the raw version just doesn't look like anything it's just #idk a cut of cardboard like you look at the marbling and it's like homeboy cut a square out of a normal cut like those #cursed pizzas where someone cuts a square from the whole pie without crust and there's just a damn hole in the middle #like idk maybe im the clueless one going insane but ive looked for cuts that match the color and marbling of vanilla raw salmon and i cant #find anything like it. am i going insane. is this really what im sitting here doing at 1:23 in the morning on a monday that is now a tuesday #this is why my ass doesn't post on tumblr like. i am really Losing It
