Papyrus is a paper-like material historically used in ancient Egypt and other Mediterranean civilizations. Made from the pith of the papyrus plant, papyrus paper provides a smooth writing surface which is often written on using reed pens and ink. The writing surface is very durable and many ancient papyrus documents have survived to the present day! Jacques Herbin’s papyrus sheets are a beautiful way of diving into this history and using the paper for artistic or decorative purposes.
