Generally speaking, in the chronology of papermaking within Europe, wove paper came after laid paper in around the mid to late 18th Century. Wove paper was first used in Europe around c.1750. John Baskerville of Birmingham printed his 'Vigil' using the newly invented paper in 1757. Nevertheless wove paper had been made in China hundreds of years previously to its rediscovery in Europe. <br /><br />Soon after Baskerville published his famous edition of 'Vigil' wove paper became very popular across Europe. By the 1780s the manufacture of wove paper had spread quickly across England – and it wasn’t long before the English papermills felt the encroaching heat of the Industrial Revolution. The papermaking craft soon became mechanised within the turn of the19th Century, and generally speaking, has not looked back. <br /><br />I recently had the desire to re-visit traditional papermaking techniques – possibly recreating the papers of Turner say. <br /><br />I hope this helps <br /><br />TTheodorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392923545459293186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429216572229550888.post-41243784343556580802010-04-15T13:12:54.897+01:002010-04-15T13:12:54.897+01:00Could you tell me when wove paper was first used b...Could you tell me when wove paper was first used by artists and printers, please?<br /><br />BLeeds Tapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184302732942086540noreply@blogger.com
