Is it in ESTC? Sheets may have one, two, or more watermarks. If each leaf of a book is a full sheet, the direction of the chain lines would depend on which way the sheet was oriented, and whether it was made in a single or double mould. Which way are the watermarks oriented?<div><br></div><div>John Lancaster</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 2017 Aug 31, at 13:24, Gemberling, Ted P <<a href="mailto:tgemberl@uab.edu">tgemberl@uab.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: BellMT; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I’m cataloging a book that has leaves which are 55 x 38 cm. Based on Gaskell p. 86 that seems too big to be a folio, yet the chainlines are vertical and there are watermarks in the middle of the sheets. What would watermarks and chainlines be like on full-sheet books? Would a full-sheet book have to have two watermarks on each sheet, since it’s not folded?<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The book was published in London in 1784.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Ted P.
