Secret works of art on the edges of book pages

Recently, the University of Iowa discovered a four-volume set of books from 1837. These books contain ‘fore-edge paintings’ – works of art that can only be revealed when you fan the pages part-way open. Fore-edge paintings go as far back as the 10th century, often depicting symbolic designs. Later on around 1750, the subject matter changed to landscapes, portraits, and religious scenes.

Drawings. Movie poster designs by Austin-based Mondo. Austin’s Mondo is described via their Facebook page as follows: ‘If we have to explain what we are, you wouldn’t understand’.
