Laid paper

Evidence

"Material: Laid paper. Watermarks: (1) arms of England in a round frame with motto and GR with wreath in a circle (cf. Heawood 444 (after 1750)); (2) arms of England in a round frame with motto; (3) arms of England, garter, motto and GR with wreath in a circle; (4) PERIGORD? (partial); (5) Arms of London."

Remarks

Extensive European watermarks are noted, specifically linked to the Arms of England and the city of London. The mention of 'PERIGORD' suggests French manufacturing or import channels common in the late 18th century (p. 259).
