Ash, Nancy and Shelley Fletcher — Watermarks in Rembrandt's Prints

Washington, National Gallery of Art, 1998. Hardcover. Illus. boards with crimson spine; 253 pp. BW illus. A compilation of information "about watermarks in the papers used by Rembrandt. The vast extent of the corpus of Rembrandt's printed work -- the sheer number of surviving works on paper -- lends itself to such a far-reaching study. The authors have relied on the precise information now available in radiographic images to verify the accuracy of the watermarks in question, and they have organized their material and presented it in a format that is easily accessible to the researcher. Perhaps even more important than its uses for Rembrandt print research is that the methodology developed in preparign this book might well become a model, or even a stimulus, for similar projects on other artists in the future."
