Two colleagues and I are on the hunt for bookplates in our collections for a minor virtual exhibit. It's been the most fun we've had in a long time, and today, one of us hit gold:
A plate designed by Arthur Rackham himself, for the famed book collector George Lazarus.

"Nibble, nibble, little mouse,
Who is nibbling at my house?"

Over the years I have picked up different #books featuring #illustrations by different #artists for #EdgarAllanPoe stories: #ArthurRackham #Dulac #Satty #HarryClarke #Dore etc and just picked up a #SimonMarsden one (I have several of his #photography books but never illustrated a Poe picture myself until this year. Never felt worthy enough in that company but here is my #MasqueOfTheRedDeath illustration for #SpectralIllusions7TalesOfChromaticHorror book.

I may do more sometime.
