Pelure paper

Pelure paper is a thin, relatively strong semi-transparent paper. Its surface is smooth implying its production is probably a step before making it into glassine paper. The stamp design can be seen from the back. Some students say that paper is not pelure unless the paper weave is nearly invisible.

The large Russian definitives of 1921 can be found on various papers including pelure.
