I am looking for an example of a folio. I want to understand what it looks like and how it is typically structured or presented.

The folio system does not directly correspond to the physical order of pages in a book. For instance, folio 3 might not be the third page you encounter when flipping through a book.

Instead, folio numbers often serve as a reference for the internal structure of a publication. For example, folio 3 could be the 27th physical page in a book.

Besides standard folio numbers, there is a variant called a "blind folio." This type of page number is accounted for in the pagination of a book but is not printed on the page itself.

In typography, a specific term is used to denote the printed page number, known as a folio.

Blind folios are commonly used in certain situations, such as on blank left book pages. These pages, often left empty for aesthetic or practical reasons, are still considered part of the book's pagination.
