It contains all the main varieties of paper made industrially and by hand: brocade, bronze-finished, chintz, paste and marbled papers along with a large number of printed and embossed fantasy papers.
Konrad Simon 1860–1945 (Collection / History of paper)
The coloured paper collection of Berlin mathematics and science professor Dr. Konrad Simon (1860–1945) encompasses around 410 handmade papers dating from between c. 1700 and 1850. The work he undertook between 1912 and 1919 to classify his collection was an early attempt to introduce a system to the world of antique coloured papers. The small-format papers are sorted by manufacturing technique into four files and are supplemented by handwritten notes made by the collector. Konrad Simon’s collection of coloured papers was first published in 1992 and became the property of the German Museum of Books and Writing in 2010.
