Jan Christiaan Sepp The Book of Marble published by Taschen
Available to Ship: 3-7 Business Days
Jan Christiaan Sepp The Book of Marble reprints Jan Christiaan Sepp’s 18th-century study of marble in full, pairing richly patterned stone plates with the encyclopedic impulse that made the original volume both scientific reference and decorative marvel.
“What persuades me is that it restores names, variation, and geological individuality to a material that is too often reduced simply to marble. The pleasure lies in discovering more each time it is opened.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership
Keep the book in a cool, dry, stable interior away from prolonged direct sunlight, radiators, vents, leaks, and high humidity. Because of its scale and weight, store it flat and fully supported when upright shelving would strain the binding; lift it with two hands rather than by the spine. Keep the volume in its slipcase when not in use and remove it by supporting the book block rather than pulling on the spine. Dust the cover and page edges gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth; never use household cleaners on the binding or pages.
