A fore-edge painting is a decorative artwork painted on the edges of a book's pages. There are two basic forms: paintings on fanned edges, which are hidden when the book is closed but visible when the pages are spread out, and paintings on closed edges, which are visible only when the book is closed. Fore-edge paintings can depict scenes, landscapes, or illustrations that complement the book’s content or theme. This art form adds a unique and artistic touch to the book, enhancing its visual appeal.
