NOTES 1 I would like to thank my colleagues at the Designmuseum Danmark (Copenhagen), in particular Sara Fruelund and Christine Rosenlund for their generous assistance. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given to examine Jenő Radisics’s letters and the endpapers and bookbindings in the museum’s collection. 2 Meier-Graefe, Julius: Some Recent Continental bookbindings. In: The Studio, 1897, vol. 9, pp. 37-50 (hereafter: Meier-Graefe 1897). 3 Gelfer-J0RGENSEN, Mirjam: Thorvald Bindesboll - Inventing Modernism. Copenhagen, 2017 (hereafter Gelfer-J0RGENSEN 2017), pp. 283-285. I am grateful to Sara Frueland for calling my attention to the literature. 4 Contemporary reports, articles and studies reveal that certain bindings made the rounds of numerous exhibitions from the mid-1890s to the early 20th century, and during this period many of them were acquired for public collections. Numerous reproductions appeared in contemporary journals; a comparison of these and the surviving bindings shows that several copies were made of some. A summary of Art Nouveau book bindings and endpapers can be found here: Fanelli, Giovanni -Godoli, Ezio: L’illustrazione Art Nouveau. Roma-Bari, 1989, pp. 64-76. 5 Meier-Graefe 1897, p. 43. 6 In: Bogvennen 1893, 1-2, pp. 52-56, ill.

The expression ‘ribbed’ does not seem to correspond to the paper painting techniques discussed in the study. Perhaps it refers to paste papers with a pattern of bands.
