In his article Osborne describes diplomatic ceremonial as an important part of a ”holistic package of diplomacy that utilised space and material culture alongside actual protocols”.

Paper was used for more than just writing, drawing, and printing, as #skystorians of #EarlyModernEurope know. Paper was mainly used for wrapping purposes too, as I said here: brill.com/display/book...
Tobacco, peppercorns etc. needed paper wrappers to get sold in small units. #PaperHistory
