It's been a snowy, slushy week here in Philadelphia, so here are some bright #endoftheweekendpapers to usher in the weekend. Huzzah!
These vivid marbled endpapers are from Diego de Cordova y Pacheco. Relacion de las Obras que se han executado en los Caminos que desde la Ciudad de Malaga se han abierto hasta las de Antequera, y Velez. Madrid: The Widow Marin, 1789.
Whew, we've made it though the first week of January, so here's another almanac for your enjoyment. You deserve it!
A wonderfully elegant cover, yes, but the real #giltypleasure is those #endoftheweekendpapers!
Bailey's Pocket Almanac. Philadelphia: Francis Bailey, [1786]
The bursts of golden yellow in these endpapers made us think of all the wonderful fall colors and the changing leaves outside. Wishing you a great weekend!
Marbled papers from Academia Litteraria de Humanidad, que Presentan al Publico, y dedican Al Principe Nuestro Senor Don Carlos Borbon (Madrid, 1765).
Sometimes by Friday our brain kinda feels like how these twirly swirly marbled endpapers look. Anyone else?
These stunners are from: Giovanni Domenico Musanti. Tabulae Chronologicae. (Rome, 1751.)
Some lovely nonpareil papers to usher in the weekend. May it be without equal!
Marbled endpapers from: López de Segura, Ruy. Libro De La Invencion Liberal Y Arte del juego del Axedrez...Alcala, En casa de Andres de Angulo, 1561.
This beautiful marbled paper was used for the #endpapers on our copy of "Historical remarques and observations of the ancient and present state of London and Westminster." Love those colors and those swirls!
R. B. Historical remarques and observations of the ancient and present state of London and Westminster. London: printed for Nath. Crouch,1681.
Just some colorful block printed #endoftheweekendpapers to get you in the weekend groove.
Found in: Benjamin Franklin. Manuel de Philosophie Practique: pour servir de suite à la Science du Bon-homme Richard. Lausanne: Chez Hignou et Compe,1795.
Imagine our delight when we peeked inside a #16thCentury allegorical poem about chess and were greeted by these great block-printed #endpapers. It's such a wonderful treat to stumble across something you weren't looking for!
Gregorio Ducchi. La scacheide di Gregorio Dvcchi. Vincenza, Appresso Perin Libraro & G. Greco,1586.
