By Humphrey Prideaux, Dean of Norwich. Edinburgh: D. Schaw & Co. Lawnmarket, 1799. Dark green quarter calf with gilt tooled spines and castellated tooling to leather edges. This over Zebra pattern marbled paper, the production of which is described by the University of Washington Libraries Decorative Paper Collection website:
This pattern is created by starting with a Turkish base. A comb with one set of teeth is then drawn through the bath twice vertically, once in either direction with the second pass halving the first. The last step is to sprinkle or splash on one or more colors.
