I spent months testing before I found a supplier of paper that, in terms of composition and texture, approximates the materials used a century ago. Regular office paper has no place in my workshop. To prevent a document from looking like it just came out of a modern printer, I subject it to a process of artificial aging. I use my own methods – from toning the paper with natural decoctions to mechanically wearing down the edges.

 The production itself often doesn't take up most of my time, but finding the right fonts, studying period stamps and researching standards of the time. Even seemingly banal details, such as the style of the document's binding or the color of the ink used at the time, determine the overall result. If you are fascinated by the charm of old times and precise craftsmanship, welcome to my world. 

With respect to history,
