About This Item
Manchester Metropolitan University. 2008. Folio, 80pp., limited to 500 copies, 205 coloured illustrs., orig. decorated wrappers, red water-silk cloth slip-case. Tanya and her late husband Hans, have collected thousands of individual sheets and samples of decorated papers, contemporary and historic, travelling the world to find new and beautiful examples. The Schmoller collection in now the largest of its kind in the world and is housed at the Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections. This book is not a catalogue of the exhibition, nor is it a complete guide to the history of all the different techniques used to create decorated paper, but instead aims to present a visual introduction to the Schmoller Collection, illustrated with some of Tanya's favourite examples and supported with discussions of the historical context and the techniques used.
