The Top Ten Illustrations from Book I of Tsien Tsuen-hsuin's “Paper and Printing”

Nobody loves anything more than a stout heart loves a black and white reproduction in an academic series that's hard to find and then reproducing them in jpegs online.

Unlike many entries in this series, this one is from a book, so there's a whole citation for you. It could be very out of date, but the pictures are really good:

• Tsien, Tsuen-hsuin (1985). “Paper and Printing.” Vol. 5:1 of Science and Civilisation in China.
