SUPPORT:
A small family concern created in 1787 in Rives, in the French Department of Isère, the Blanchet de Rives paper mill became Blanchet Frères & Kléber in 1820 when brothers Augustin and Victor Blanchet joined forces with Jean-Antoine Didier Kléber.

The paper mill quickly acquired a reputation all over the world for the quality of its publishing, art and photographic papers. We often see the BFK sign in the watermarks of these papers.

Around the turn of the 20th century, BFK was one of the papers most prized by demanding photographers who prepared their own photographic papers by coating them first with albumen and then with gelatin-chloride emulsions.

The famous Velin BFK Rives paper, which is still made at the Arches paper mill, remains a byword for quality in the world of drawing and art publishing paper.
Made on a cylinder mould and available in sheets, rolls, reels and pads glued on one side for drawing, this is a paper with great mechanical strength and an unbelievably smooth feel.

It is a favourite for all kinds of drawing techniques: pencil, pastel, charcoal, sanguine crayon, graphite, felt pen and calligraphy. Its smooth surface brings out the slightest detail. The artist can obtain shadow and light effects and create contrasts.
