Watermarks
Watermark Form
Countermark LB
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. Initials LB may possibly stand for Léonard Binniger of Montbéliard, a patron of the Belchamp papermaking mill operating along the Doubs River in Eastern France between (1613-1643) .
