Handmade paper samples of Andrew Smith
Collection Overview
This collection consists of a limited edition of signed samples of 45 sheets of handmade paper measuring 19 x 26 cm. The paper was made by Andrew Smith of Beaverton, Ontario, in 1975 from shivy flax, deshived flax, spectral flax and rag, stay-pressed sheets, rough rag, smooth cotton, levi blue, levi blue and flax, and cotton and wood chips. The papers are enclosed in a paper folding box, which is numbered 23 out of a set of 30, and signed by the papermaker. Juliette Wiles Staats later made a clamshell box to house the papers. The box's interior is covered with a printed repeat design paper; the outside is covered with a mustard-colored bookcloth and the olive-colored leather spine is blind-tooled with the title "Handmade Papers Smith.".
