Descripción
Refers to detailed watermarks produced by a relief sculpture on the paper mold. The technique was supposedly invented in 1848 by the Englishman William Henry Smith. The light and shade watermark created more detail than the wire watermark. It is often used in paper money to make counterfeiting more difficult.
