Evidence
"The gilded margin around the column suggests that this publication was produced with the intention to excel visually, yet the typography falls short of this ambition."
Remarks
The inclusion of a gilded margin indicates an attempt by the Müteferrika press to elevate the visual prestige of printed books, although the author notes the technical typography did not match this decorative ambition (p. 57).
