The history of Arches

The history of Arches starts in 1492 when the Arches site completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches, south of Epinal.

The Moulins d'Arches turned to the production of high quality paper for writing and art publication. The mill thus produced paper for incunables (the name given to the first printed books), such as the Chronique de Nuremberg by Dürer. Also printed on Arches paper was the "Description De L'Égypte" commissioned by Napoleon I upon his return from his Egyptian campaign. The work was used by the royalty from 1809 to 1828. More recently, the 1922 first edition of James Joyce's Ulysses was printed on a variety of papers. One hundred and fifty of these thousand copies were printed and numbered to a larger size now known as the 'Giant Joyce', on vergé d’Arches paper.
