Martin Frost is the last working fore-edge painter in the world. Dating back centuries, the delicate art form places intricate scenes on the side of books, cheekily hidden beneath gold gilded pages. The beautiful paintings are only visible to the trained eye, but once you unlock the secret, you’ll find pure magic.

@imsleepingbeauty 6 лет назад

😲This is incredible. I read books all the time and I never heard about this art form until today. So sad that he's the last one. I'm really surprised other artists haven't picked this up.

@TheSpecialJ11 Год назад

There are a lot of hobbyists, but very few commercial painters.

@cydney7217 6 лет назад

That's awesome! I really loved the double one with paintings one side and on the other! I also really liked the harry potter one. I hope more people will do this later on, out books would look a awesome.

@inabruttel2811 6 лет назад

I want to learn that! I'm a book lover and I don't want this craft to die. Mr Frost, can you teach me that incredible art?! I am a student, becoming a teacher, married and hopefully someday mother... but I also am a crafter and painter at heart. And I adore books - the medium, the stories, the letters, the smell... Did I mention I love books?

@DSmith-zn3qf 6 лет назад

This art form needs to have a huge resurgence in popularity, and get to happening, like now! If cake decorating, and body painting can become hit tv shows, this artisan style work with paint and literature can surely create a noticeable demand for product delivery, and maybe save some bookstores!

@spiralpython1989 6 лет назад

This is the loveliest video to ever feature in my recommended list. Absolutely gorgeous artwork, and such a soothing voice.

@evehalcyon2063 6 лет назад

He seems like a fairytale character he's so interesting 😁

@mariannanickel490 6 лет назад

@domopix4387 6 лет назад

Teach me oh wise one

@star666moon 6 лет назад

Wonderful! I am glad he is doing what he is doing!

@buddysalinas2508 6 лет назад

OMG I used to do the same when I was in high school with my books. sometimes I draw lines. but when you see it from the bottom or under it will reveal a name or a word. I didn't know that its something. but for me its just a Drawing or tricks.

@reedschindler309 6 лет назад

I didn't know this was a thing five minutes ago, and now I feel that if the artform ended, the entire world would be lost.

He seems like such a sweet man aww my hear 💓🌸

@starkiller9897 2 года назад

That was brilliant I hope he carries on for decades to come!! Will be a sad day when he stops doing this, would be great if someone could continue his work so this craft never dies out!! Real shame modern times with our mass manufacturing has put many of these artworks out of business as sadly many arts and crafts business stopped being viable as there wasn't as much interest!⅞

@gaelhillyardcreative 2 года назад

There a few people in other parts of the world who do this, and there is a museum in the States that repairs / restore these books.

@doughnutheart9509 6 лет назад

@corinnefrusciante3706 6 лет назад

I remember ‘discovering’ this in a book I read when I was a child. I can’t for the life of me recall which book it was but it must’ve been in my parents book shelves, I must take a day and have a look sometime. They just have so many books, it will take a day haha
