Grapes and clusters: Paper Marks
Grape clusters alternate with stems, leaves, initials and compact groups of circles across Plate XI. Differences in the size and outline of the bunches turn the page into a comparison of related paper marks. Pott uses the collected forms within her wider argument about the meanings concealed in early printed books.
