Descripción

A very thin, opaque Asian paper that was made in China and imported to Europe by the Dutch East India Company from about 1768 to 1875. India paper is thin with a basis weight of 20 pounds with approximately 1000 pages to an inch, used for printing thin paper editions such as bibles and reference books. In the late 19th century, it was replaced for this use by an imitation called "Bible paper," which is a rag paper originally manufactured by Oxford University Press.
