See More... Gravell, Thomas, George Miller and Elizabeth Walsh AMERICAN WATERMARKS 1690-1835.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2002 small 4to. cloth, dust jacket. 397 pages
First Edition. To research and photograph the practically invisible requires a unique technology and a curious intellect. A half century ago Thomas Gravell began a life-long study by collecting examples of early American watermarks. In 1979, he and George Miller published an interim edition which illustrated over 700 examples together with some thumbnail histories of the paper mills that produced them.
Using all the original 1979 watermarks, now in the Special Collection Department of the University of Delaware Library, this edition adds more than 300 new watermarks found by Mr. Gravell during the past twenty years. In all, 1,057 watermarks have now been computer enhanced and triple-indexed for better identification. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Walsh of the Folger Library edited a great deal of new information from leading scholars and enthusiasts. This new corpus of research corrected and updated the numerous mill histories, indexes, glossary, and bibliography.
This expanded and revised edition of American Watermarks, brings to the paper and autograph scholar the latest information available on early American watermarks in a clear, concise work that should become a basic reference in its field.

See More... Laurentius, Theo and Frans WATERMARKS 1650-1700 FOUND IN THE ZEELAND ARCHIVES
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2008 9 x 12.5 inches cloth. 354 pages.
The seventeenth century is an underrepresented period in the publications on watermarks. A growing demand in the fields of history and art history for exact dating of documents and artworks on seventeenth century paper was one of the main reasons for the authors to conduct research in this area.
This book is based on the `Ingekomen Stukken` (`Received Pieces`) of the Staten van Zeeland (States of Zeeland), carefully collected per year and preserved in the Zeeland Archives in Middelburg. In order to reproduce the watermarks in actual size, as was the case in volume 1600-1650, `Soft X-ray` equipment developed by Dr. Jan van Aken (emeritus professor dental radiology of the University of Utrecht) was used.<BR>With 1221 black and white and 7 full colour true size photographs and detailed descriptions Watermarks 1650-1700 found in the Zeeland Archives gives together with the first volume (Watermarks 1600-1650 found in the Zeeland Archives) a long awaited overview of the watermarks and the types of paper that where available in The Netherlands in the 17th century.
An indispensable tool for all those who are interested in paper, economy, history and art-history. With 1228 illustrations of which 7 full color.

See More... (Papermaking) Gravell, Thomas L. and George Miller CATALOGUE OF AMERICAN WATERMARKS, 1690-1835.
New York Garland Publishing Inc. 1979 4to. cloth. xxxiii, 230 pages.
First edition. A landmark book on American watermarks with 734 reproductions of watermarks and biographical information on the producers of each along with their dates and locations. Over 200 paper mills are described from the 1690's to the 1830's. A new, distortion-free reproduction technique, developed by Gravell, is used to accurately reproduce the watermarks photographically. Each watermark is photographed with a scale-size indicator as well. Watermarks can be important in establishing approximate dates for undated manuscripts; Gravell and Miller show that approximately 95% of the paper they examined was used within six years of the date of manufacture. The book contains a selective bibliography, an index of watermark subjects, and an index of proper names. Oak Knoll published a second edition.
