Watermarks 1450â1850 offers a concise history of the production of paper in Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. The research is based on watermarks collected from various sources in combination with other elements from the trade, such as decorated paper and ream wrappers. This book includes reproductions of ca. seven hundred watermarks.

In 2007/2008 they published Watermarks (1600â1650) Found in the Zeeland Archives and Watermarks (1650â1700) Found in the Zeeland Archives.
