Today I want to share with you a review of a book that must be present in the library of a paper artist. It is:
MARBLED AND PASTE PAPERS
Rosamond Loring's Recipe Book
de la: HOUGHTON LIBRARY
HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY
2007
Rosamond Loring (1889-1950) fue una coleccionista, historiadora, encuadernadora y decoradora de papeles. Su coleccion de papeles abarca aproximadamente 10000 (diez mil) ejemplares de papel marmolado, al engrudo e impresos, de caracter historico y contemporaneo. Su entera coleccion fue donada por la familia Loring en 1952, al Departamento de Imprenta y Artes Graficas, de la Houghton Library de la Universidad de Harvard.
Rosamond Loring (1889-1950) was a collector, historian, binder, and paper decorator. Her collection of papers covers approximately 10000 (ten thousand) of marbled, paste, printed and historical and contemporary papers. Her entire collection was donated by the Loring family in 1952, to the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts, Houghton Library of Harvard University.
En este libro se presenta una recopilacion manuscrita (faxsimil de los apuntes originales) de recetas, para elaboracion de papeles marmolados y al engrudo, que comprende sus ensayos y experiencias en la preparacion de los soportes para las pinturas, preparacion de los colores y diversos aditivos, preparacion del engrudo, tecnicas de marmolado, etc. El manuscrito es datado marzo 1928, y para facilitar la lectura del mismo, al final del libro se presenta una transcripcion de este.
This book presents a compilation of a manuscript (a faxsimile of the original notes) recipe for marbled and paste paper making, which includes essays and experiences in the preparation of the supports for the paintings, preparation of colors and various additives , preparation of paste, marbling techniques, etc. The manuscript is dated March 1928, and to facilitate the reading, at the end of the book there is a transcription of it.
En mi experiencia personal es un libro que permite tener una muy buena base para la tecnica de marmolado principalmente, ya que la mayoria de las recetas presentadas son para este tipo de proceso. Es importante tomar en consideracion que el contenido es relacionado con la experiencia personal de la Señora Loring, y que sus recetas no siempre nos van a funcionar, porque variables como calidad del agua, tipos de pigmentos, materiales densificantes, etc, varian de lugar en lugar y de dia en dia, por tanto, su seguimiento no exime de la fase de experimentacion con nuestros propios materiales.

In my personal experience this is a book that allows a very good basis for the technique of marbling mainly, because most of the recipes are for this type of process. It is important to take into consideration that the content is related to the personal experience of Mrs. Loring, and her recipes will not always work if we follow them, because variables such as water quality, types of pigments, weighting materials, etc, vary from place to place and from day to day, therefore, does not release its follow-up phase of experimentation with our own materials.
