ANCIENT PAPER-MAKING

The tools of the primitive paper-maker consisted of a pulp vat for the fiber-laden water, a frame, or mold across which was stretched a mesh of closely-spaced wires, and a removable frame known as the deckle; hence the term “deckle edged.” The beating was done by iron shod hammers which were raised and released by cams on a shaft turned by water power: this machine called a stamper is shown in the foreground of this picture.
