<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 1149842, member: 8267&quot;]Not sure I want to wade in here, but just a point of clarification - an original watermark is made by the papermaker, not the artist. It is created by a wire pattern on the screen used in the papermaking process. It is sometimes helpful in authenticating works of art on paper because the pattern can be traced to particular papermakers, the marks may be datable, and artists may be known to have typically used a specific type of paper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
