Puzzles in Paper examines the past, present, and future of watermark study
ranging through the disciplines of art history and conservation,
bibliography, musicology, and philately. Watermarks and paper stocks
provide evidence to a rich variety of purposes: to determine the dating,
chronology, and authenticity of musical and literary composition and
artistic production; to conceptualize the printing process of a series of
incunabula; and to examine the effects of European politics on the paper
supply for early printing in the New World. These subjects are mentioned
as well as essays on the development and application of new technologies
for reproduction of watermarks, such as phosphorescence imaging, DYLUX, and
digital imaging.
The authors of this collection of scholarly essays, which they presented at
the Roanoke International Conference on Watermarks, as well as the
attendees of the conference represent a remarkable assemblage of scientific
and humanistic expertise: chemists, engineers, experts in digital
photography, book dealers and collectors, librarians, literary scholars,
cartographers and historians.
