My dear McKerrow
Watermarks—a simple exercise.
William King’s Oratio in Theatro Sheldoniano | Second edition 1750. 4o.
[The following three lines are braced together on the right-hand side:]
Half title Title Dedication 3 leaves.
B-E in fours, pp. [1]-32.
F, pp. 33-34.
Two watermarks to the sheet, a very large one and the maker’s initials.
Doubtless F=[A4]. [A2] and [A3] have the large w/m; F has the small one, & I think I make out the rest of the small one on [A1], under the paste.
CDE are normal—one pair has one w/m, the other has the other.
B shows the small w/m twice. Why? Because B1 has a copper plate.
Doubtless B was printed on two separate half-sheets.
Yours
R. W. Chapman
