Arches paper

[1] The Moulins d'Arches turned to the production of high quality paper for writing and art publication.

The mill thus produced paper for incunables (the name given to the first printed books), such as the Nuremberg Chronicle by Dürer.

[2] By the end of the 19th century Arches had industrialized and focused its production on papers for banknotes, watercolor, and art books.

One hundred and fifty of these thousand copies were printed and numbered to a larger size now known as the 'Giant Joyce', on vergé d’Arches paper.

[3] Notable works of 20th-century art were produced on Arches paper, including etchings by Henri Matisse[4] and lithographs by Pablo Picasso.
