Pink Ink || British marbling || Print technique

It would be interesting to read some of the methods and materials used for the craft of marbling. Here is a book published in 1881 which illustrates some of the British processes inspired by the Spanish and French. 

'The Whole art of Marbling' - Book produced by British author Charles W. Woolnough

Perhaps the most important book on British marbling, "The Whole Art of Marbling" provides a detailed account of the methods and materials of the craft of marbling and gives instructions for making approximately thirty traditional and "modern" patterns. In addition, it instructs the reader how to use the completed marbled papers in home decoration and how to marble on cloth.
