Etymology

The term 'endpaper' comes from the combination of 'end' referring to the boundaries or limits, and 'paper', which denotes the material made from cellulose fibers used for writing and printing. The use of endpapers in books dates back to the early days of bookmaking, when papermakers and bookbinders sought effective ways to protect the more delicate pages from wear and tear. The earliest forms likely served as functional tools rather than decorative elements, but as the craft of bookbinding evolved during the Renaissance and beyond, endpapers began to take on more aesthetic qualities. They often featured marbled, decorative, or patterned designs that reflected the artistic trends of the time. Today, endpapers continue to play a significant role in book design, combining form and function effectively.
