This blog has been created for the sole purpose of finding out my ancestor Sarah Walton's family. It's a place to sort through my info and have access to it as I am researching away from home. If you have stumbled across this blog because you are looking for information, or better yet, if you have information, :) please contact me at denianek@gmail.com to share.

American watermarks book to read


I want to get a hold of this book from the library - it has the Willcox watermark in it, too, I believe.

American watermarks 1690-1835

Front Cover
Oak Knoll Press, 2002 - Art - 363 pages
This new edition, revised with the assistance of Elizabeth Walsh of the Folger 
Shakespeare Library, incorporates enhanced illustrations of all the original 700 
watermark photographs, and adds more than 320 new watermarks found by 
Mr. Gravell during the past twenty years. In all, 1,057 watermarks have now 
been computer enhanced and tripled-indexed for better identification. This new 
corpus of research includes revised and updated paper-mill histories, 
an updated bibliography, a new glossary of papermaking, and new name, geographic, 
and iconographic indexes. A new foreword by Keith Arbour recounts 
Thomas Gravell's contributions to paper history.
