Variants of Watermarks – Varianten von Wasserzeichen<br />
Watermarks that are, although different in shape or in their position<br />
on the screen, clearly prints from the same wire figure, this<br />
figure having gradually changed its form during the paper production<br />
process.<br />
Vellum Paper (Wove Paper) – Velinpapier<br />
A type of paper produced since the 18 th century with a smooth,<br />
even surface, the result of its mould being made of tightly woven<br />
metal. By means of relief-like graduated stamps, differing thicknesses<br />
in the sheet of paper can be created. When the paper is<br />
held up to the light these differences can be seen as so-called<br />
shadow watermarks.<br />
Type of Watermarks – Wasserzeichentyp<br />
Watermarks that are the same with regard to their motif, form,<br />
<strong>and</strong> size are considered as a watermark type. Corresponding to the<br />
period of time the individual watermarks of a particular group<br />
were in use, undated watermarks can be dated by means of their<br />
type.<br />

Drahtfigur<br />
Wire Watermark Emblem (Wire Figure) – Drahtfigur<br />
Watermarks are produced by a figure formed out of wire that is attached<br />
to the paper mould’s screen. When paper is made, less paper<br />
pulp accumulates here, thus the watermark is visible because<br />
of its higher transparency. See Mould.<br />
