Angouleme was a centre for the paper industry and cigarette
rolling papers. Rizla (Lacroix)
at one time had a factory here . The former Le Nil factory
is now the Angouleme Paper Museum which keeps much
information on rolling papers - indeed, 1988 is dedicated to this subject
with many exhibitions taking place.
One of the lectures concerns the role of Egyptian images in cigarette rolling
papers. Apart from Le Nil (The Nile), Egyptian images can be found
at EFKA, GIZEH
and other German papers |
