Christopher Weimann was a pioneer of twentieth-century marbling who was known for the meticulous research that allowed him to understand and reproduce historical marbled papers, and for his success in developing new designs informed by the past. Designed and printed by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press, Weimann’s text describes the origins of Japanese marbling (suminagashi), Turkish marbling (Ebru), and Dutch book-edge marbling. It is illustrated with twenty-two original hand-marbled papers by Weimann.
