This marbled paper cover is a select print from John Bayly's work for Edward Hasted's "The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent." The cover features a swirling marbled design in shades of green, blue, black, and red, interspersed with flecks of gold. Bayly's intricate work for this three-volume publication, created between 1777-1790, captured the landscapes and architecture of Kent, showcasing the artistry of bookmaking and the beauty of the English countryside. The cover's marbling, a decorative technique used to create a unique and artistic effect, adds a touch of sophistication to this historically significant work.
