Grand Aigle

With even larger dimensions of 750mm x 1050mm, the Grand Aigle format has an imposing surface area of 787,500 sq mm or 0.7875 sq meters. Translating to “Great Eagle” referencing its majestic heraldic eagle watermarks, Grand Aigle represents a supersized version of the Petit Aigle paper specifically intended for important government proclamations and decrees of notably substantial length or civic significance. Historically this included uses like nationwide charters, authoritativelegal codes, seminal political treatises, foundational contracts and revolutionary doctrines during formative eras of French governance. Today Grand Aigle persists in very limited runs for collecting and decorative purposes honoring major historical accords and declarations. Reproduction uses include civic inaugural commemoratives, milestone government retrospectives, significant judicial opinions, historic charters and decorative prints of key French political writings like Les Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen wanting the full regalia of the size that once transmitted such pivotal documents. So for all its present decoration, Grand Aigle still commands an aura of profound political weight via its mighty facilitated agreements that changed history.
