I have a questions regarding book art. patron and I have been trying to
search for this answer for about 3 weeks now. What is the name for the
artwork done on a book after it has been published? Its not
illumination, but rather a painting of a scene on the book pages when the
book is closed and slightly opened. (I can't think of a better
description). It was popular in the 1800's among the rich crowd.
