History of Papermaking
NOTE: Visuals included in the original published guide are not provided in this document. Paper is such a commonplace of twentieth-century life that one rarely pauses to reflect that the material that makes up today's newspapers, books, prints, certificates, cups, plates, napkins, and countless other objects for dignified or humble use had its origins nearly two thousand years ago. According to tradition, this amazingly versatile material, whose importance for civilization is scarcely less than that of the wheel, was discovered in A. . !"# by an ingenious $hinese eunuch named %s'ai &un. &ike so many great inventors, %s'ai &un seized on an idea that was simplicity itself. 'e sought a use for the scrap cuttings of the e(pensive woven cloth then used for writing. 'e beat the scraps until they were reduced to a mass of individual fibers, mi(ed the mass with water, and poured it onto a cloth or bamboo screen. %he water drained away leaving behind a matted sheet of fibers--paper) %he basic process of making paper by spreading a slurry of fibers onto a porous screen has remained unchanged in principle down to the present, in spite of the enormous changes in the mechanics of accomplishing this act. %s'ai &un's followers found that paper could also be made from bamboo, hemp, and mulberry bark. %he *apanese, for e(ample, who began making paper in the seventh century, relied primarily on mulberry bark. +ven today, the *apanese ,rice paper, sold in art supplies stores is made not of rice but of mulberry bark. $on-uest and caravans brought paper and the secret of its manufacture to the .est via /amarkand, 0aghdad, +gypt, and 1orocco, and by the twelfth or thirteenth century /pain and 2taly had begun making paper. %he process underwent a few minor changes during this long journey, since the $hinese materials were not available, and paper was in competition with parchment as a writing material. %he early +uropean papermakers macerated cotton and linen rags for fibers, and to keep the ink of the -uill pen from feathering or bleeding out into the sheet they dipped the paper into a tub of warm gelatin 3an e(tract from the hoofs, hides, and horns of animals', which gave the paper a harder surface. %his process is known as sizing. %he amount of sizing in paper depends upon its eventual use. .riting paper re-uires a hard surface and

therefore a large amount of size. Printing paper re-uires less, and blotting paper almost none. 3p. 45 2nstead of using a bamboo screen, the +uropeans fashioned their paper molds from metal wires stretched across a wooden frame, a simple device on which paper was made for all the books, drawings, and prints produced in +urope for many centuries. %he skilled craftsman dipped his mold into a vat of fibers floating in water, lifted it, and by just the right series of to-and-fro motions gently formed the sheet of paper. %he ,vatman, was the key individual in the Papermaking business6 the ability to make a uniform sheet not only once but time after time re-uired long years of apprenticeship as well as physical endurance. After the vatman had formed each sheet, an assistant transferred it to a heavy felt, gradually building a pile of felts and paper sheets in alternation. %his pile was then placed in a large press, which forced out e(cess water and consolidated the sheets of paper. After sizing the paper was sent to the drying loft and draped over long ropes to dry. /ince so much skilled labor was involved in papermaking, it is not surprising that the manufacturer soon began to take special pride in ,branding, his paper with his own watermark in the form of his name, insignia, or a special design. %he watermark is produced by a thin wire pattern attached to the screen of the paper mold. /ince this design projects above the surface of the mold, the paper is thinner wherever it has touched the wire. %he translucent mark is visible when the paper is held up to the light. 7utenberg's invention of movable type in the fifteenth century firmly established the usefulness and necessity of paper. 8rom then on the papermaker struggled to keep pace with demand and faced two ever present difficulties6 the cost of labor and the scarcity of raw materials. 1echanical and chemical innovations helped to solve these difficulties but also posed new ones. %echnology improved -uantity at the e(pense of -uality. %he 'ollander machine, named for the country in which it was invented, was one of the most important of these innovations--a seventeenth-century version, one might say, of the modern food blender. 1etal blades cutting and churning at high speed in a large tub of rag cuttings mi(ed with water -uickly reduced even the toughest of rags to a smooth, even pulp. %he 'ollander soon replaced the enormous stamping machines whose heavy, pounding hammers had previously been used for pulping the rages. %he sorter fibers produced by the 'ollander resulted in a weaker sheet of paper but produced fifty to a hundred times more pulp than the stampers. Another seventeenth-century innovation was the introduction of alum 3aluminum sulphate5, a chemical used to harden the gelatin size and to keep it from putrefying while in the tub. Alum soon became one of the standard papermaking materials, with unfortunate results for the strength 3p. 95 and longevity of paper. 2t has been found that alum radically increases the acidity of paper. 8rom the second half of the seventeenth century onward, use of this chemical severely diminished the strength and

permanence of writing papers, and only in recent times has its destructiveness been fully recognized and corrected. %he disastrous effects of chlorine, use of which began in !44:, were realized more immediately. 2t was employed as a bleach for stained or colored cloth, previously deemed unusable for book and writing paper, and it caused entire stacks of paper to crumble into dust before they could even be used. %he supply of rags never seemed to catch up with the demand for paper, which by the nineteenth century had become enormous. 2n the latter part of that century, an ingenious papermaker in 1aine, 2. Augustus /tanwood, conceived the idea of ,importing mummies from +gypt for the sole purpose of stripping the dried bodies of their cloth wrappings and using the material for making paper., %he woven wrappings and papyrus filling were transformed into a coarse brown wrapping paper, which was eventually used by grocers for wrapping vegetables, meats, and other foodstuffs) After the ragpickers and cutters in the mill developed cholera, probably as a result of their handling infected rags, this enterprising plan was brought to an end. %he search for an economical substitute for rags long occupied papermakers. 0y !9"" as many as !;# substitutes had been suggested, including asbestos, thistles, potatoes, linden leaves, /t. *ohn's-wort, corn husks, cabbage stalks, and cattails. +ventually wood showed the greatest promise. 2ts potential as a papermaking substance had first been suggested in !4!< by the 8rench scientist =en> Antoine =?aumur, who had been impressed with the ability of wasps to make paper nests from wood. 2n !9"" 1athias @oops published in &ondon a book of which a part was ,printed on paper made from wood alone . . . without any intermi(ture of rags . . . ., @oops was ahead of his time and was unable to capitalize on his invention, but within a few decades practical methods were devised for grinding and pulping wood. %he first groundwood pulp mill in the Anited /tates was founded near /tockbridge, 1assachusetts, in !9B4, and the very ne(t year the first Cew Dork newspaper to use groundwood pulp was printed. %oday newsprint and groundwood pulp are virtually synonymous. Anyone who has seen his old newspaper clippings disintegrate within a few years will not need to be convinced that groundwood pulp paper can be of poor -uality. 2t is weak largely 3p. <5 because its preparation produces e(tremely short fibers in clumps and retains a large amount of the binding material 3lignin5 that held the fibers together within the tree. %his binding material breaks down easily into acidic components, which attack paper and cause it to deteriorate. %he wonder is that, despite the use of all these destructive agents by the papermakers, any books or works of art on paper should have survived at all. 8ortunately, these materials and methods were not used uniformly by all papermakers. .hile some mills turned to assembly production of magazines, newspapers, and ine(pensive books, other mills were less ,progressive, and stayed with traditional methods, continuing to produce high--uality papers for the artist and fine printer. 2t thus came about that there became available a great variety of papers with widely different -ualities of

permanence. %oday it is possible for a contemporary artist like =obert =auschenberg to obtain paper just as fine as that used by Audubon for his Birds of America 3!9E4!9;95. At the same time, it is e-ually possible for the unwary artist to use paper that will scarcely outlast an ordinary newspaper. /imilarly, the art collector may find that the mat he so admired has seriously stained the picture it was supposed to protectF or the librarian may find that many recently purchased books have become unusable. .hat is the lesson to be learned from these facts about paperG 8irst, we must learn to be discriminating in our use of paper. %he paper must be suited to its purpose6 if performance is re-uired, then the -uality must be chosen accordingly. %he traditional handmade papers of +urope and the Hrient will answer the needs of special users, such as artists. 8or those who run today's high-speed printing presses, however, the critical technical re-uirements for uniform thickness and weight, special sizing, and large -uantity rule out these traditional types of paper. 0ut the papermaking industry has learned a great deal from the mistakes of the past and can now write a prescription for longevity that modern technology can administer. %he ideal combination for permanence seems to be an acid-free and alum-free pulp made of the purest possible fibers--a condition that, ironically, was essentially fulfilled by the ancient papermaking methods, although by circumstance rather than design. %he purest papermaking fibers available in -uantity to the modern papermaker are pure new cotton and pure high-alpha cellulose. A paper made with these fibers and without acidic ingredients may be said to be highly permanent and durable, free from the causes of internal deterioration. %o help control the e(ternal factors that effect permanence, some fine, acid-free te(t papers have been made with available alkali present, which acts 3p. !"5 as a buffer to neutralize any possible acid contamination from handling by the user or reader or from the atmosphere in which the paper is kept. Artificial aging tests carried out on paper made with pure high-alpha cellulose and alkaline additives have indicated an e(pected permanence in e(cess of three hundred years. Anyone concerned about the future of paper can now take heart, whether it is a matter of reading a favorite novel again in a few years time or of preserving a valuable picture for the ne(t century. 3p. !!5
