hello!
i am just trying to collect historical facts and information about my native land specifically about historical paper making. i have heard about The ancient paper-mills of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire and their watermarks book by Georg Eineder which is unfortunately unavailable in the czech republic. does anybody know/have this book and could tell me whether it contains information about paper making in eastern bohemia at the beginning of the 19th century?
thanks to all

Hi Gulfstream,

Welcome!

This is a topic that I know nothing about. I did do a search to see if I could inter-library loan the book and then flip through it for you, but I cannot find any titles by Georg Eineder.

However, this book is available:

Author: Tschudin, W. F.
Title: The ancient paper-mills of Basle and their marks
Publisher: Paper Publications Soc.,
Date: 1958.
Description: 266 p. : ill.
Notes: No.114 of a limited edition of 600 copies.
Subject: Papermaking --Switzerland --Basle.
Subject: Paper industry --Switzerland --Basle.

I don't know where Basle is - but if you think that this book might contain some info you are interested in, I will request it and scan pages that sound relevant to your research.

I did a bit of research and found a website you may be interested in:
