Oak Knoll

Limited Edition. Complete collection of marbling artist Karli Frigge's sample cards, this book serves as a chart of her creative development and experimentation. Contains 349 tipped-in samples of exquisite marbled papers. She writes in the colophon: "The sample cards were returned to me by bookbinders, picture framers, box makers, schoolteachers and daydreamers. To retrieve some of the cards, I had to trade some sheets of marbled paper, for some I had to pay good money, and some cards were acquired with sheer black magic. Therefore, there are a few copies only." Introduction by Sidney Berger, a paper historian and collector. The title calligraphy on the cover was done by hand by Evert van Dijk. Unusual binding, bound in Frigge's own method.
