Description

Description
50 sheets of old 16x20 inch 1-ply 100% rag barrier paper / museum board
. No packaging/unknown brand. Probably dates to the 1980s. The paper is off-white (ivory or cream) in color (see the last photo to see how the paper's color compares to bright white notebook paper). Each sheet is about 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) thick—very thick paper or very thin museum board.
This paper is unused but it has been in storage for 30+ years. While the paper surfaces are generally bright and clean, the paper has several flaws:
There's a 1.5” indentation on almost all sheets (possibly caused by a thumb during a careless attempt to lift the entire batch). It's most noticeable when lit from the side.
There are light blemishes or small foxing (rust colored) spots on the edges of some sheets. The foxing spots might encroach ~1/32" into the page, but generally they're limited to the edge.
On some sheets there might be a small dark speck or spot. In almost all cases this affects only one side, so you can just turn the sheet over and use the other side, but on one sheet there's a 1/4" flattened organic object that affects both sides.
A few sheets might have small edge creases or small corner dings.
See the photos.
About barrier paper in general
: As I understand it, barrier paper was originally used in matting and framing, specifically to provide a barrier between a photograph and an acidic mat board. With the increasing popularity of acid-free mat boards, barrier paper is not used as frequently for its original purpose. But because of its composition and slightly textured surface, rag barrier paper is very versatile and is also suitable for artistic applications such as drawing, lithography, pastels, etc.
About the paper in this auction
: The flaws in this particular batch of barrier paper might make it more suitable for its original purpose or other functional application where appearance is not an issue. On the other hand, an artist might find the indentation and other flaws minor enough to overlook.
Disclaimer
: Whether you wish to use the paper for a functional purpose or an artistic endeavor, by bidding you acknowledge that the paper is flawed and that I offer no guarantee about its archival properties or suitability for any application.
Note: I'm also selling a larger batch of barrier paper in better condition (see my other auctions).
