With a carved envelope and perforated pages, this legal eagle has all the details that make Rhodia notebooks so iconic that I don`t know exactly why, but I use them because hours of reading and writing on yellow paper are softer on my eyes than with white bleached paper. A4 legal notepad stapled on top with extra length – 21 x 32 cm60 pages (80 sheets) Mounted with margin sides Cardboard cover Top stapled pad reinforced with staples for added strength. Micro-perforated sides on top for easy removal. Made of yellow paper 80g/m² with smooth satin finish (acid-free, neutral pH). Paper from sustainable forests. Designed and manufactured in France, Rhodia`s rich heritage and cultural influence is evident in the classic and elegant design, high quality and functionality of each of its notebooks. The Rhodia Notepad first appeared in 1934 as a sideline for the manufacturer, but quickly became its most famous product, eclipsing other laptops of the time with its high-quality materials and original design. The first batches of towels sold so well that Holley quit his job at the factory and started his own business to collect leftovers from local factories and make and sell his towels. Not really a white paper. Transparent Mylar film. It`s much more durable than paper, and that`s clear, so you can hold it on a piece and make sure it fits. CAD now takes over, but for many years, when technical drawings were done by hand, Mylar was the preferred medium. I`ve seen Mylars from decades ago that are perfectly legible, they don`t wrinkle or turn yellow like paper.
Yet when most people think of legal notepad, they think of yellow paper and blue lines. The true origin of the yellow hue is actually a mystery. As far as we know, Holley`s towels were white, and dyeing them yellow would have increased her costs and ruined her business plan. “The Legal Pad began in 1888 with Thomas Holley. Holley was 24 years old and worked at a paper mill in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Every day, he and his staff threw many pieces of scrap metal, called sorts, that remained from the cutting of the paper into the right sheets. He knew there had to be a use for them and eventually came up with the idea of cutting the types to the same size and linking them into small notepads. Since the paper was essentially trash for the factory, they were able to sell the tampons at a low price. The stamps made by Holley probably weren`t yellow, and that`s not the only color they`re available in today. The only thing that technically distinguishes the legal notebook from any other notebook, says the American Pad and Paper Company, are “descending lines” or 1.25-inch margins.
Holley added these lines in the early 1900s at the request of a loyal customer, a judge who wanted a place to write comments on his notes. The proven design of this beautiful notebook combines the famous bright yellow sheets and distinct edge of traditional legal notebooks with Rhodia`s commitment to meticulous craftsmanship. With its instantly recognizable orange lid and 80 g/m² slatted paper, this legal notepad is a great choice for use with a pen or pencil and perfect for everyone, regardless of your profession. Another possibility is that Holley or his successors eventually decided to dye the paper to hide the fact that tampons were made from leftovers of different ages and qualities, and that yellow was the cheapest or most readily available dye at the time. Yellow on black or black on yellow is the color combination most visible and recognizable to the human eye. The reason why legal stamps are yellow is certainly more due to tradition and chance, as is the case with many other things. There are a few competing hypotheses about how the pads then turned yellow, but they haven`t been verified and no one seems to know when the pads first came out in color. One origin story suggests that yellow was chosen because of the “stimulating effect” of color on a person`s intellect and stood out well from glare-free black ink, making text easier to read.
