Scope note
Interleaves, often made of highly sized paper, or glassine paper, inserted into a book to prevent the transfer of ink from an illustration or plate onto the facing page. Guard sheets are also frequently used to elucidate the accompanying illustration. They may be loose, or bound, and are often made of inferior paper, which may transfer acidity to the facing leaves.
