[Tex/LaTex] Creating Page Border for Single Page only

framedmargins

I am digitizing a book and there is only a single page which has page border as shown in the attached image.
How can I create border to a single page? Is there a library where I can choose a border from?

Example of page with a border

You can make a title page like this using TikZ decorations e.g. inside a titlepage environment. TikZ allows for a lot of different decorations and you can even define your own. It also allows for easy use of colors etc.

Example to show the principle:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}

\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text
\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
    \centering
\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
    \draw [line width=1mm,decorate,decoration={snake
        %,segment length=<length>,amplitude=<length>
        }]
        ($ (current page.north west) + (1cm,-1cm) $)
        rectangle
        ($ (current page.south east) + (-1cm,1cm) $);
    \draw [line width=1mm,decorate,decoration={zigzag
        %,segment length=<length>,amplitude=<length>
        }]
        ($ (current page.north west) + (2cm,-2cm) $)
        rectangle
        ($ (current page.south east) + (-2cm,2cm) $);
\end{tikzpicture}
    \huge
