Marbled Monday
This Marbled Monday we return to the publications of the Trianon Press and their editions of English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake's (1957-1827) works. Why so much Trianon Press and William Blake lately? Well, because we had a whole bunch of it out recently and couldn't pass up the opportunity to post the beautiful marbling used in binding each volume. This is Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in a facsimile edition published by the Trianon Press in 1960 for the William Blake Trust.
The marbling is the same pattern used for Trianon Press's edition of Visions of the Daughters of Albion, but in a green color palette instead of orange. This pattern can be called Octopus or Whirl and was likely not created until the 20th century.
