A wonderful jar of the late seventeenth century looks like a three-dimensional marbleized endpaper in an expensive book. |
The endpaper contains a family tree of D'Arcy's direct and collateral descendants. |
An intriguing example is on my last book, whose endpaper is a cancelled leaf of Saint-Simon's Memoires. |
Each book is also accompanied by a bookmark that matches the endpaper exactly. |
The endpaper cartoons and the dust jacket illustration, together with a clear format for entries, make this a handsome and valuable work of reference. |
In the List of Illustrations, page numbers with links have been added for the endpaper maps. |
