Endpapers are not just the blank pages at the beginning and end of a book, but rather an opportunity for artistic expression. From repeating patterns to humorous illustrations, they add depth and character to any literary work. One example design is Cecil Aldin's creation, featuring a mesmerizing repeating pattern of skeletons. This macabre yet captivating design sets the tone for what lies within the pages. Charles Crombie also showcases his wit through his humorous endpapers. With clever illustrations scattered throughout, these designs bring a smile to readers' faces before they even delve into the preface or introduction. Speaking of which, one such preface that caught my eye was Merula's introduction to Martial's Epigrammata. Its intricate detailing and elegant typography make it a visual feast for any reader. If you're in search of something more nostalgic, old-style telephones with men and women conversing adorn another set of repeating patterned endpapers. These vintage images transport us back in time when communication was slower but perhaps more meaningful. For those who yearn for adventure on the high seas, pale blue backgrounds adorned with sailing ships provide an ideal backdrop. The repetitive nature of this design creates a sense of movement and excitement as if we were embarking on our own maritime journey. Hokusai's Great Wave takes center stage in another set of endpapers where circles repeat endlessly. This iconic image captures both power and tranquility simultaneously - reminding us that life is ever-changing like the waves themselves. If fruit tickles your fancy instead, assorted fruits or specifically apples and pears can be found adorning other sets of repeating patterned endpapers. Their vibrant colors create a mouthwatering display that whets our appetite for knowledge within the book itself. Whether it be skeletons dancing across pages or sailing ships navigating vast oceans - each set of endpapers tells its own unique story before we even begin reading.
