Title: China: A modern representation of Cai Lun (Ts'ai Lun), c. 50-121 CE, traditionally regarded as the inventor of paper, overseeing the paper-making process
Caption: Cai Lun (ca. 50 CE 121), courtesy name Jingzhong, was a Chinese eunuch and political official. He is traditionally regarded as the inventor of paper and the papermaking process, in forms recognizable in modern times as paper (as opposed to papyrus).
. Although early forms of paper had existed in China since the 2nd century BCE, he was responsible for the first significant improvement and standardization of paper-making by adding essential new materials into its composition.
