Description
This American sheepskin covering is called a run marble binding, inspired by the striations of rock formations, sometimes also called Prussian marble or Spanish marble. The style flourished in the 1820s and 1830s in New England and the Middle Atlantic states, on books printed in the first three decades of the 19th century.
