Description:

A handwritten manuscript volume with over 700 pages of which approximately 390 pages have hand written text, most of which is medical, either recipes (with ingredients in ounces), treatments and guidance.

Old volume with the paper watermarked J Whatman, 1828 on some of the blank pages at the rear of the volume.

Spine missing but volume holding together well. The writing is fairly difficult to read and a little technical.

When one then refers to the pages related to the titles above there are descriptions and ingredients.

Much of this is, again, technical and or, difficult to read so I have included photographs.

The pages are watermarked J Whatman 1828

James Whatman invented wove paper at Turkey Mill in the 1750s. All paper made before the 1750s was laid.

J Whatman paper has been made at two sites in its long history; the original mill in Maidstone, Kent was called Turkey Mill.

The development of ‘wove’ paper, producing paper on a smooth, regular-surfaced, woven mesh material was pioneered by James Whatman at Turkey Mill. It resulted in a sheet with a much smoother, less irregular surface than previously found in 'laid' paper.

This evolvement of paper manufacturing immeasurably improved the quality of printed work and the range of printing techniques possible.

The more robust surface found in wove paper also allowed for the growth of experimentation of more vigorous and expressive techniques by artists.

James Whatman’s wove paper trials were conducted in 1754 in conjunction with the famous printer William Baskerville.

Approximately 7 ½ inches tall, 6 inches wide (from spine to fore edge) and 4 inches deep (from front cover to rear cover).
