AB - The article surveys the production of machine-made paper in Britain before the mid-1830s, concentrating on the consequences of the construction of the Fourdrinier paper-making machine, specifically on the seam joining the two ends of the wire. The seam leaves a mark in those parts of the resulting web of paper that have rested on it, and the presence of seam marks in the leaves of printed books can be used in bibliographical analysis, including the identification of format, imposition schemes, cancellation, and the make-up of particular gatherings.
