Collection of Dard Hunter paper with watermarks

Hunter, Dard, 1883-1966. · 1900 · 1 picture

A paper specimen collection compiled by the American papermaker and typographer Dard Hunter, dated 1900, documenting watermarked papers for collectors and book historians. The one picture is a sepia photograph of a thatched timber mill with a wooden waterwheel turning over a stone-built millrace beneath overhanging trees, showing soft tonal range and rustic texture a designer could draw on for muted, aged-paper palettes and rural hand-crafted atmosphere.
