Marbled paper was a popular choice for book covers and endpapers from the 17th to the 19th centuries. It was created by floating pigments on a liquid surface—often a bath of carrageenan moss—and then transferring the patterns onto paper. This technique provided both aesthetic beauty and a practical way to hide wear and tear on the book's exterior.
