Product Description
Velke Losiny, home of this jewel of European hand papermaking, has survived not only the ravages of wars but also the infamous medieval witch trials when 56 people, including the paper mill owner's wife, Barbara, were burned at the stake there.Today the Velke Losiny mill has reemerged from behind the Iron Curtain with a wealth of tradition, unmatched production capacity and dedicated people. Being a papermaker in the village is a lifetime career traditionally handed down through generations. Long fiber cotton fortified with linen ensures crispness, strength and dimensional stability. The purity of raw materials and a calcium buffer result in a stable chemical balance free of acid that enables these papers to stay intact for centuries.
