Description
[Bassano del Grappa, Remondini, ca. 1760-1790]. Large, folio sheet of died paper, oblong, (over 36.0 x 44.0 cm). Loose, as issued. = A very special coloured sheet of printed and painted paper, or papier dominoté (French) or Buntpapier (German), probably meant as wallpaper, not - as was more common - as endpapers for folio-sized books. Wood block printing in grey and black, finished by hand with white gouache. Almost certainly the work of Remondini, a firm of print publishers based in Bassano del Grappa and active from the mid-17th-century to 1860. The edges are uncut, as issued. Some marginal fraying and creasing, otherwise, excellent: the printing strong. Beautiful piece.
