The hidden artworks painted on the edges of old books.
Most of them are hidden from the naked eye and can be viewed only if the pages are fanned.
This type of special, secret book paintings were even used in ancient times, but saw an increase in popularity during middle ages and especially from 17th to 19th century.

I did see some extraordinary books such as these when they were featured on Antiques Roadshow. Wow, how fascinating!
