Evidence

"European wove paper was invented in about 1755 but was produced in larger quantity only at the end of the 18th century (Gaskell 1972: 65–66). It was the most commonly used paper in the 19th century. It had a mottled appearance, was wood pulp-based and structurally weak."

Remarks

Unlike earlier Islamic or European laid papers, wove paper lacks the distinct chain and laid lines. It is noted for being structurally weak compared to earlier handmade papers (p. 101).
