Nostalgie Premium Drawing Paper This natural white, finely-textured drawing paper has more than the ordinary weight at 190 gsm (90#). It can also do more than ordinary drawing paper — try Nostalgie with fountain pen ink, watercolor pencils, sumi ink brushes, and any other wet or dry sketching medium. It's even strong enough to serve as a lightweight postcard — and Hahnemühle even offers Nostalgie with postcard markings in A6 size. Note that the A5 and A4 Nostalgie pads have a generous 50 sheets each, giving them a greater heft than other drawing books and offering much more value to students and working artists. Hahnemühle Since 1584 Hahnemühle is an historic European papermaker, with a history that reaches back 400 years to the earliest milling activity near Dassel, Germany. The rivers that flow through this region have provided Hahnemühle a key raw material (water) and a source of clean power for many, many years. Today's Hahnemühle builds on this rich history with high-quality paper products, made with a close eye on sustainability. Hahnemühle — Respecting Nature Hahnemühle only uses primary paper pulp that comes from sustainable and FSC- or PEFC-certified tree farms. In these responsibly managed areas, 3-4 trees are planted for each tree harvested. As early as 1965, Hahnemühle was the first paper manufacturer worldwide to produce exclusively vegan papers. Animal glues made of gelatin or substrates of animal origin are not allowed in Hahnemühle papers. Instead, Hahnemühle uses a synthetic sizing to treat its papers. This vegan sizing is biodegradable; it contains no genetically modified organisms; and it's free from harmful or toxic substances.
