Comment: What are the white lines running vertically down the image?

I'd probably say printing errors like that are acceptable to fix. It's a distraction from the main subject. Shoemaker's HolidayOver

They're not printing errors; they're
chain lines that are part and parcel of the paper-manufacturing process (similar to watermarks). The closely spaced horizontal lines are called laid lines. Someone might even want to use this image in the
Laid paper article.

Well, I consider any archive of the printing process not intended by the artist a printing error, but if it's being used to illustrate the papermaking process, that causes it, I'm fine. Shoemaker's HolidayOver

This scan happens to come from a premium limited edition run of 800 copies. Do you have a source for the artist's intention? Durova332 15:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)reply
Support beautiful! The lines don't bother me, in fact I would advise against removing them, as it is part of the image. This might also be used in the article

Support. Still not certain about those lines, but you know more about the subject than me, so I'm happy to defer. Otherwise, an interesting, useful and pleasant picture.
