The Book of Marble presents a facsimile reproduction of Jan Christiaan Sepp's 1776 publication, A Representation of Marble Types, originally produced at the height of the Enlightenment. Its 100 hand-colored plates document 570 distinct marble varieties, offering a detailed visual and historical record of natural stone classification. The facsimile format faithfully reproduces the original artwork and composition, preserving the hand-coloring techniques characteristic of 18th-century scientific illustration. This edition marks the first time the work has been reproduced in this format, making it a rare reference for those interested in natural history and decorative stone.
