Beautiful marbled papers from the 1830s, produced by John M. Knott. The book is dated by the archive as an uncertain 1833, but John Morgan Knott was in partnership with Thomas Beilby and James Henry Beilby until June 1835, so this book was probably produced shortly after this date. In 1841 John Morgan Knott went bankrupt.
Many of Knott's fancy papers were manufactured in Bordesley, but the offices were at the old premises for Aris's Birmingham Gazette. A map of the Swan Hotel shows 'Mr. Knott's Printing Establishment' in 1836.
