[QUOTE="Ex Libris, post: 2307225, member: 14916"]Paper before the industrial revolution was made by hand out of rags instead of wood pulp in modern paper. That made the paper much more durable. There are 2 periods in time with very bad paper: in the 1800's when the first industrial paper was made and just after World War 2, when there was a shortage of the raw materials. Ink of early prints had a good quality as well: 'A typical recipe for early printing inks calls for three parts of lampblack, ground together with around 15 parts by weight of boiled linseed or walnut oil.
