Figure 9: Hand papermaking from G. A. Böckler’s Theatrum Machinarum Novum (Nuremberg, 1661). With
water-powered hammers, the linen rags are pulped. The vatman stands at the vat with a mould; the
coucher presses the post; the drying sheets hang on ropes above, ready to be sized, calendared, gathered into reams, and packaged. Courtesy of Alan Crocker
