Pauline Johnson (1905–94) was a Professor of Art at the University of Washington. Her influential book, published in fifty-four editions, includes instructions for making twenty-three types of printed, painted, and marbled paper. In the Preface, Johnson describes this as a book for beginners by which they can develop artistic expression and experience delight in their product. Shown here is the cheerful and inviting front cover of the first edition.
