(PRINTING.) Ream wrapper issued by Vermont papermaker Ira White. One sheet, 11 x 7 1/2 inches, worn, slightly dampstained, unevenly trimmed, with 3 small binding holes. Wells River, VT, early 19th century
Early American papermakers often issued a printed wrapper to protect the reams of blank paper they offered for sale. These are now rarely seen on the market. Ira White (1789-1886) made paper in rural Wells River, east of Montpelier, from about 1815 to 1849. This wrapper for his "One ream Cap, No. 1" is illustrated with an eagle above a decorative border.
