Rosamond B. Loring (1889-1950), whose paste papers cover this book, was a maker, collector, and historian of decorated paper, as well as a hand bookbinder. From 1936 through 1949, Loring worked as the librarian for the Club of Odd Volumes in Boston. This book, published in 149 copies, led to the creation of her landmark treatise, Marbled Paper, its History, Techniques and Patterns, first published in 1942.
