Wove paper is a writing paper with a uniform surface, not ribbed or watermarked. The papermaking mould's wires run parallel to each other to produce laid paper, but they are woven together into a fine wire mesh for wove paper. The originator of this new papermaking technique was James Whatman (1702–59) from Kent, England.[1]

For 500 years European paper makers could only produce what came to be called laid paper. In 1757 John Baskerville printed his famous edition of Virgil on a new kind of paper, called Wove (known in Europe as Vélin). This paper is now known to have been made by the elder James Whatman. Twenty-five years later (1780s) the manufacture of wove paper spread quickly to other paper mills in England, and was also being developed in France and America. All this took place over a decade before a machine to replace making paper by hand was conceived. With the establishment of the paper machine (1807), the manufacture of paper on a wove wire base would become the predominant standard in the world, with laid paper being relegated to certain specialist uses, such as being used as a support for charcoal drawings. Today more than 99% of the world's paper is made in this way.

Happy Women's Equality Day! Featured in this work by artist Marisol Escobar (known simply as Marisol) are Elizabeth Cady Stanton (left) and Lucretia Mott (right)—two key figures of the early women's rights movement. Stanton and Mott became close friends and allies after meeting at the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London and protesting a vote by male delegates denying women's participation in the proceedings. Marisol portrays them joining hands in this commemorative lithograph.
