Revere



Oh where ever do I begin! The NSS had quite an exquisite array of paper stock this year. I'm just going to start with some of my favorites and post more as we go!

Cartiere Magnani: Revere
ri-vir' [v]: to regard with respect tinged with awe

The Magnani paper mills nestled in the foothills of the small town of Pescia in the Tuscany region of Italy. Its history dates back to the early 15th century- 1404 to be exact. At Magnani, old world skills and craftsmanship are still exercised only to be enhanced by 21st century modern paper making technologies.

Revere was not a range of paper that was created overnight; but rather a dedicated project that was 2 years in the making. This undertaking was performed with one goal in mind: To create a line of papers suitable for all printing and drawing techniques at an affordable price without compromising the quality and integrity of what is expected of a 100% cotton deluxe sheet. The result is a fine art paper range of superior quality, consistency and versatility.

With complete sensitivity to the environment, Revere is manufactured utilizing energy generated by their own mill water turbines, and is composed of fibers sources from tree-free 100% cotton linters. The range is naturally acid-free, neutral pH and chlorine-free to ensure the tests of time.
