This artwork by Charles George Lewis is a marbled paper cover. It depicts a pattern of red, blue and green marbling on a tan background. The cover is a typical example of marbled paper, a decorative paper technique where paint is floated on a water bath. The cover is likely from a sketchbook or journal, created during the artist's career from 1808 to 1880, and is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
