Annonay paper 3

Below are two further examples of "Annonay paper". These scraps were from the workshop of an old bookbinder, who used them as siding papers for ledgers. If my memory serves me correctly, he had this paper printed by an Australian company.
As you can see, the paper is printed. Note the very edge of the above sample, where the distinction between the black & blue plates can be made out.

The binder also had an example of the same paper, but with red replacing the blue. Although I have seen ledgers bound in the blue paper, but I have yet to see one bound in this red paper.
