"This book is intended for those who have not made a study of American antique furniture and do not wish to do so but are fond of it and desire to know the principal periods and styles. Such knowledge is best acquired from many illustrations with explanatory remarks; and it is hoped that the large number of illustrations here presented showing the changes in styles in successive periods will make the subject clear and interesting. The plan of the book requires the subject to be brought down to about the year 1840 which is later than the period of fine antiques. . In this book for amateurs almost all of the pieces shown are of the kind which are found in private houses." preface This extensive information in two volumes covers furniture identification care collections styles and auctions.

In 1979 he and George Miller published an interim edition which illustrated over 700 examples together with some thumbnail histories of the paper mills that produced them.<BR><br /> Using all the original 1979 watermarks now in the Special Collection Department of the University of Delaware Library this edition adds more than 300 new watermarks found by Mr. Gravell during the past twenty years. In all 1057 watermarks have now been computer enhanced and triple-indexed for better identification. Meanwhile Elizabeth Walsh of the Folger Library edited a great deal of new information from leading scholars and enthusiasts. This new corpus of research corrected and updated the numerous mill histories indexes glossary and bibliography.<BR><br /> This expanded and revised edition of American Watermarks brings to the paper and autograph scholar the latest information available on early American watermarks in a clear concise work that should become a basic reference in its field.
