<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 843525, member: 8267"]1792 - it should be hand made paper. The tear looks like later machine made paper. If you can hold it up to the light, can you see any pattern of lines, or a woven texture? Early paper molds created impressions of the wire "laid and chain" lines in the paper. Woven wire molds were introduced in the mid 1750s, and created a more even woven texture. In each case, the fibers in the paper pulp are oriented randomly, as the paper maker would shake/swirl the pulp in the mold. In machine made paper, the paper pulp was poured onto a moving screen, resulting in the paper fibers being more aligned in the direction of movement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
