We hold almost 40 examples of fore-edge paintings. The majority of this collection was donated by Peter J. Vogelzang. A fore-edge painting is a hidden painting on the edge opposite the book spine. Fore-edge painting peaked in the 19th century. For descriptions, see this listing in the library catalogue.
