"A registry book sample covered with marbled paper"

Remarks

This entry describes a registry book cover utilizing marbled paper (p. 262). The marbling pattern is a traditional decorative technique often seen in late Ottoman bookbinding. The visual representation shows a combination of warm colors (reds and yellows) typical of organic pigments used in Ebru (marbling). Tools associated with finishing such paper, like the 'Mühre' (burnishers) mentioned in Appendix 10 (p. 260), were essential for creating the smooth, polished surface seen on these covers.
