Blinddruk van florale motieven, dewelke donkerder worden naargelang ze dichter bij de rug liggen. Spiegels vervaardigd van schalmsel (zie "playing with paste). Partiële goudsnede (3 zijden).

Playing with paste
De spiegels zijn gemaakt van schalmsel (leve de Brockman schalmmachine!). Eenvoudig doch mooi. Het schamsel verzadigen met bloempap, aanbrengen op een Japans papier, even persen en laten drogen.
The past-downs are made of leftovers of paring leather. Saturate with paste, gluing on Japanes paper, short nip in the press and drying. And ready.

Shagreen & Galuchat
Next step: putting on the Shagreen (or Galuchat) leather. It's a very beautifull leather with pearls on the "grain"-side. Because of these paerls it is difficult to pare. In this book the Shagreen is glued in a reseced area before the covering.
