Watermarks

Watermark Form
Countermark PB
 
Early European papers were made with a watermark and a secondary mark known as a countermark. Each mark is traditionally sewn in the centre of each half of the paper mould. Papermakers would often design watermarks and countermarks to represent their own monogram or personal symbol to distinguish their paper. Initials are commonly used as countermarks and can signify the papermakers name, the name of the paper mill, a place name, or a patrons name.
Watermark and variant description
Countermark PB - variant A.a.b. The initials PB. The letters double-wired. Probably a countermark to Arms of Amsterdam, variant B.
