Watermark and variant description
Unknown fragment
Additional notes
This unknown fragment is captured within an oatmeal paper, rather than a traditional printmaking paper. Named after the appearance of oatmeal, this paper is more coarse, textured and toned in colour. It is made from linen rag and raw hemp fibre, and sometimes coloured fibres, that are beaten so the fibre remain long in order to produce a strong sheet, often used as wrapping paper. The beta-radiograph reveals both the watermark fragment and the characteristic flecked appearance of the paper structure, which is a result of the coarser fibres and beating process used to make oatmeal paper.
