  Home interiors, gravestones, and pottery participated in the material landscape of whitened goods popular in the American South before the Civil War. White paper was a special case because it brought together the racial ideology of unmarked, standardized white skin with the invisibility of paper. The demand for pure, bright, white paper linked racial legibility with print legibility. Thus, reading language and reading bodies became very close, dependent on common visual techniques.
