I love the old bookplates that turn up in google book scans. Winward Prescott, whose bookplate this was, was a collector of bookplates so he must have put a lot of thought into this image of a naked man, holding a book, and a naked woman, posed on the tray of a traditional school microscope with three lenses. I can't say exactly what he was thinking, however. @bookstodon #bookplates #reading #science

Y último ex libris del año. Muchas gracias a todas las personas que habéis confiado en mí. El año que viene habrán más ex libris y grabados y proyectos. #exlibris #bookplates #libros #books #booklovers

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.
