The Columbier paper size has dimensions of 23.5 inches (597 mm) wide by 34.5 inches (876 mm) high, resulting in a very large total surface area of 811 square inches. Sometimes referred to as Grand Aigle, this exceptionally sizable sheet was well-suited historically for bigger scale documents, charts, presentations and artwork needing ample space to incorporate substantial details. Its dramatic horizontal proportions readily accommodate wide tables, data rich business graphics, huge architectural plans, expansive educational displays, oversize advertisements and much more. Dating back to when paper was made by hand, Columbier's origins trace to an era of crafting customized large sheets for special purposes whether spreading wide detailed timelines and family trees or rendering extra-large artistic compositions or cartographic pieces. So Columbier sheets stem from a tradition of made-to-order paper tailored at any desired oversize with lengthy horizons aptly fitting lengthy or hugely wide-spanning subject matter documentation requiring copious surface area.
