About this Item

22 handmade papers, including: 11 Hayle Mill handmade papers; 2 A. Millbourn handmade papers, and others by J.Batchelor, Arnold & Foster; Fabriano and Wookey Hole (these possibly of later date). Fine condition with very detailed desciptions. In the summer of 1953 the bailiffs visited The Latin Press and removed presses, type and paper in payment of debts. The smaller Albion and a quantity of paper was moved down to the Old Smoke House that stood close to Sven's Tower. Kim Taylor (Ark Press) was given access to them to practise printing. On leaving St Ives he was given a box of these papers to take with him. Some of these remained in his possession until passed to the noted Guido morris collector Michael Bridge in 2003. Identification of the sheets was undertaken in 2004.
