ON THE EDGE:
The Hidden Art of Fore-Edge Book Painting

Made possible through a gift from Anne and David Bromer, On the Edge: The Hidden Art of Fore-Edge Book Painting showcases the Albert H. Wiggins Collection of fore-edge paintings in the Boston Public Library’s Rare Books Department. The online exhibit contains over 200 high-resolution images of the paintings themselves, along with an introduction by Mrs. Bromer, videos, and interactive zoom functions to view the paintings in fine detail.
