  • I work for a rare book store in SC. Foreedge painting is no photoshopped trick. It was used mostly for upscale books in the 1800s. It is amazing. So much detail

  • I've seen three of these in my life, one being a double (painted on the "front" and "back" of the page") It's always breath taking.

  • Comment removed

  • With goal pages.....do you think we could get Flavor Flave to read it?

  • coool 

  • Whoa I have a book like that... I wonder if some kickass painting is in there too xDDD

  • Coolio!

  • thats effin crazy!!!

  • im sure it small amounts of ink on the edge of each page that when fanned correctly creates the image.

    i wonder what each individual page looks like. is the ink noticeable? if so how much?

  • wow, thats cool :o)

    STUMBLE!

  • my bible does tat =]

  • very facinating!

  • cool

  • in theory, i guess u could just bend the pages and paint, but im sure theres a much more sophisticated way.

  • @kingofschnitzels Since the bible is printed off a computer and not written by hand I'm sure the computer with an imaging program does it.

  • Wow, thats cool!

  • This is very interesting. I wonder how you do it?

  • mind = blown

  • wow

  • I had my IndyMac and Wachovia bank account numbers hidden this way. Guess I wont need them anymore. :)

  • It'd be awesome to transport hidden messages with this technique.

  • thats deadly!!!

  • perfect for those books with no pictures

  • Really dood?

  • Learn to speak english, you fucking idiot.

  • It's real, look up FORE-EDGE PAINTINGS

  • Why is there always some retard who thinks it's photoshopped?

  • @ShaolinSKunk

    Usually such comments are made by trolls. Idiots who crave any attention and since they cannot get positive attention, they get off on bad negative attention and act as jackasses.

    I'm not happy with it either...so annoying.

    Then again I'm replying ot a comment form two years ago lol...

  • That's awesome!

  • I have a gold edged dictionary like that but never seen one with an image!

  • Thats a very old art form. I have seen some like that from the 1800's that where fantastic. If your ever around old books, check out the ones with gilded edges, you may find a lot more.
