The Zerkall papers were a very unique paper and we do not have anything that quite compares to it in terms of texture. However, we do have a nice variety of papers suitable for Litho.We recommend Somerset Satin which has a smooth surface texture, comes in white 250gsm and is offered in sheet sizes of 22x30 as well as 30x44.
You will find that it feels a bit more "textured" compared to Zerkall Litho. The reason for this is that Somerset is 100% cotton compared to the Zerkall paper which was made of 100% high alpha cellulose. The longer cotton fibers naturally create a more textured paper. Somerset Satin is the preferred paper of master printer Valpuri Remling at Tamarind Institute.
