| Abstract | Watermark studies have traditionally been dominated by a single name, Charles-Moïse Briquet (1839-1918), whose chef d’oeuvre 'Les filigranes' (1907) reproduced 16,112 designs. In recent years Briquet has gone digital, with the images and text searchable online in the 'Bernstein, Memory of Paper' resource hosted by the Austrian Academy for Sciences, which has been adding numerous other early repertories, as well as acting as a search engine for other watermark projects. A new project, 'Briquet Reloaded', returns to the original watermarks traced by the great Swiss scholar, in order to bring them into a digital environment, with two case studies relating to Lyon and Udine. |
