Title: Blank Sheet of Antique Laid Paper with Lily of Strasbourg Watermark
Description: NP: ND. Perhaps Strasbourg, 1675. Single sheet of laid paper watermarked with the "Lily of Strasbourg," a simple shield bearing the Lily of Strasbourg (fleur de lys), with crown as crest. The mark originated in the city of Strasbourg in France in 1675, but cannot be relied on to indicate place or date by itself, as it was widely copied and used in France, Holland, and other countries into the 19th century. One indication of age is the mark's position within the chainlines; the original was centered over a chainline, as here. But this is not conclusive. 7-7/8 X 12-1/16 inches; 20 X 30.5 cm. Soiled and stained, tattered where torn from binding. Good. Note: Images have been manipulated to display watermarks, and do not represent the true color of the paper. .
