Jan Christiaan Sepp. The Book of Marble Reviews

Beautifully reproduced. * Apollo *
A marvel that brings the true beauty of stone to life. A fascinating visual journey through 570 different types of marble that honors Sepp's forgotten work with great expertise. An absolute must! * Archimag *
The plates each meticulously hand-colored and arranged with painstaking precision offer an abstract-art feel that gives the recent volume a reinvigorated slant, arousing the contemporary senses of modern readers. * designboom *
mesmerizing doesnt even begin to describe the exquisite patterns on these stones. * Domino *
This true polyglot edition with 100 brilliant, hand-colored plates of marble specimens from all parts of Europe is one of the finest works to come from the Amsterdam scientific publishing firm of Jan Christiaan Sepp. * The Mineralogical Record *
