 * Comment: What are the white lines running vertically down the image? J Milburn (talk) 10:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Paper texture. Durova  331 14:56, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd probably say printing errors like that are acceptable to fix. It's a distraction from the main subject. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 21:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 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. Deor (talk) 21:25, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 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 Holiday Over 213 FCs served 12:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This scan happens to come from a premium limited edition run of 800 copies. Do you have a source for the artist's intention?  Durova  332 15:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good idea, Deor. Added to the laid paper article.  Durova  331 21:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 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 John Gilpin.  Nezzadar   ☎   21:33, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 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. J Milburn (talk) 23:56, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
