stone papers
Plain, dull-coated brown, green, and slate-gray
papers, which were used for Bibles beginning in
about 1821, and a short time later appeared in the
early cloth bindings. Their smooth-coated finish,
usually in very somber shades, were very
respectably Victorian, and although perhaps
practical, were unattractive; however, their use
continued until the end of the century. See also:
