Charles-Moïse Briquet
Charles Moïse Briquet (30 August 1839, in Geneva – 24 January 1918, in Geneva) was a noted Swiss filigranologist.[1] He was the first, or among the first, to suggest the use of watermarks for dating paper. He produced in 1907 the mammoth four-volume work Les Filigranes.[2] His papers, including his collection of traced watermarks, are kept at the Bibliothèque de Genève.

gollark: Well, I made *an* autotrader, not one everyone used.
gollark: It worked really well, until they banned it with no explanation for 6 months, and the actual "investment" functionality there is dead now anyway.
gollark: I think my most practical (in that it mostly works and performed a function you could barely describe as being maybe useful) project on github is the MemeEconomy Autotrader bot I wrote ages ago, to make excessive amounts of money on r/memeeconomy.
gollark: Oh, I see. Cool.
gollark: I don't know leafo.
