Beauty's Paper (Art with Fabriano)

I am currently reading On Paper, by Nicholas A. Basbanes, a well-written book about the cultural history of paper. It has things about hand paper-making, record keeping, rare manuscripts and library vaults filled with priceless scripts.

The problem with this book is that it has only one mention for Fabriano, Italy! I found this annoying. Fabriano is not only my favourite paper: In most paper histories, the year when paper mills were first established in Fabriano (1276) is commemorated as a milestone in the history of paper, paper-making and paper art.

Here is lovely artwork made by Deepanjana Pal with Fabriano paper!
