Ingres D Arches - MBM (France)
This laid texture paper is pre 1920 and has a rattle like linen content paper.
 
The full sheet appears to have four distinct deckle edges, which indicate a hand made paper.
 
Recent versions of this paper are made on a cylinder mould, so well done
that is often mistaken for handmade, these will have two deckle edges and two torn edges, torn from a long length of paper.
 
I am still investigating.
 
One of several sheets, this one has not been restored. It has wonderful toning from age.
