(57) A paper for photographic containing a nonionic antifoamer of which the components do not include silicone nor propylene oxide, a paper for photograph containing a nonionic mineral oil antifoamer of which the components include silicone or silicone-modified silica and having a pH of 3.5 to 5.5 measured by the cool water extracting method, and a paper for photograph which contains a water-soluble aluminum salt and at least one of rosin sizing agent, polyacrylamide or polyamide-epoxy resin and has a pH of 3.5 to 6.0 measured by the cool water extracting method. In the above papers for photograph, silicone and propylene oxide which are harmful with respect to photographic properties are removed, or propylene oxide is removed and silicone is rendered harmless by adjusting the pH to an acidic range. Or, particular sizing agent and paper strongs agent less affecting photographic properties within a particular acidic range are selected.
