              AMERICAN WATERMARKS
                                1690-1835
                       by Thomas Gravell,

In 1979 Thomas Gravel and George Miller published an interim edition of 
their watermark research which illustrated over 700 watermarks together 
with provisional thumbnail sketches of the paper mills that produced them.

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 up-dated paper-mill histories, an updated bibliography, a new 
glossary of paper-making, and new name, geographic, and iconographic indexes.

A new Foreward by Keith Arbour recounts Thomas Gravell�s contributions to 
paper history.

This expanded and revised edition of American Watermarks 1690-1835 is the 
most comprehensive catalog of American watermarks to date. To paper 
historians, imprint and manuscript curators, reference librarians, 
autograph, ephemera, and financial history collectors, and other scholars, 
this catalog makes available in easy-to-consult, triple-indexed format, the 
latest information on early American watermarks.

Publication date: February 2002.
