Egyptian marble
A cover marble executed by coloring the leather
covering (before it is attached to the book) with
blue, which when dry, is followed by a coating of
glair, then potash water (alum). Black is then
sprinkled over the leather, and when the black is
nearly dry, the leather is washed with water. (95 )
