Vintage Endpapers

Though hand marbled papers are readily available for restoration work, printed endpapers appropriate for late 19th to early 20th century work have been impossible to find. A small angling collection here for restoration finally brought the matter to a head. An 1884 Denver printing of “With Rod and Line in Colorado Waters” had decorative endsheets too brittle and cracked to be reused, and so we’ve launched a line of appropriate papers.

They feature small repetitive patterns in a single color, currently available in brown, green and a golden wheat. They’re easily aged by immersion or airbrush, have a vellum finish that is a very good match for machine-made papers, and are printed on a Mohawk Ivory 70# text.  They’re great for rebinding, for book restoration, or for any new project where a fine decorative paper is needed.
