Paper vendors produced some stylish catalogues and sample books during the 20th century, but few matched the bravura of Papiermolen. They employed every printing trick in the book. In fact, the Papiermolen book was a trove of great paper engineering. Among the designers in the ’30s were Koen van Os, Muratti, Jan Lutz, Ruscha Wijdeveld and others who combined the complexities of Constructivism with the beauties of modernity. This is just a sampling of the paper magic in the September 1933 edition.
