EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating woodcut print from the 16th century provides a glimpse into the early process of paper making. In this intricate scene, we see the raw materials being macerated by hammers operated by a water-wheel in a trough. The vatman then mixes the pulpy mixture with water in a vat before using moulds to form thin spongy sheets of paper. The sheets are then pressed in piles of 144 using a wooden screw-press and separated by layers of felt. The paper is carefully hung to dry, completing the laborious but essential process of creating this precious material. This image captures not only the physicality and craftsmanship involved in paper making during medieval times, but also highlights the ingenuity of utilizing water power for such tasks. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has come since those early days, yet also underscores the importance and value placed on something as seemingly simple as paper. As we admire this historical depiction, let us appreciate the artistry and dedication that went into producing something so fundamental to our everyday lives.
