Vintage endpapers

 

Often you can find magic in strange corners of the internet and sometimes I find my research for art projects etc draws me to the wildest corners and dark alleys. Most of this posts content comes from tiny scraps of historic endpapers that are for sale (with hours of photoshop to reconstruct into page sized pieces).
