This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

to distinguish the sources of the books, as bought 
from the income of many special funds or received 
by gift, and to mark the property of different de- 
partments and social clubs; also that in 1912 Mr. 
Clifford Nickels Carver published a most at- 
tractive volume, "Bookplates of Princeton and 
Princetonians" ; in fact, practically all of our very 
old institutions of learning take pride in their 
bookplates and in the historic, artistic and senti- 
mental interest which attaches to them. 

It is my privilege to visit, in the yearns rounds, 
many educational communities. I have been im- 
pressed with the absence of anything that might 
be termed a bookplate in the libraries of the great 
majority of better and older colleges and schools, 
and even of some universities west of the Susque- 
hanna. Within less than a year the presidents 
of two fairly well known colleges and one of the 
deans in a large university have expressed to me 
ignorance on the subject. This has led me to feel 
that bookplates and their uses should be better 
understood and that possibly there would be room 
in the world of books for a modest work on Col- 
lege Bookplates. 

After discussion of the project with Mr. The- 
odore W. Koch, the librarian of the University of 
Michigan, who offered the use of his valuable col- 
lection, two thousand invitations to contribute ap- 
propriate specimens for reproduction in such a 

8 



FOREWORD 



book, were sent out. Responses were enlighten- 
ing. Some friends said "Our college uses only a 
label," others *'We have not as yet found a rich 
friend to present us a respectable bookplate." 
Through the University of Kansas, however, we 
made the acquaintance of Dr. Arthur Wellington 
Clark, of Lawrence, and through him that of Mr. 
Ruthven Deane of Chicago.* But for these two 
gentlemen in addition to Mr. Koch, this book could 
never have been compiled. 

Several years ago Mr. Winward Prescott pub- 
lished a bibliography of bookplate literature. Mr. 
B. Ziya Gaydzak, after weeks of research in our 
local libraries, and with a card list of the book- 
plate literature in the library of Congress, had 
secured for this work quite a list of titles. His 
list, however, included some hundreds of periodi- 
cal items, offering a serious problem as to what 
titles could, with propriety, be embodied. I ap- 
pealed to Mr. Prescott as the best known author- 
ity. He most courteously offered to merge his 
own magnificent list with that of Mr. Gaydzak, 
eliminating and adding whatever he deemed ex- 
pedient. The result, with Mr. Prescott^s many 
additional titles, offers so complete a check-list 
that it should, in all candor, appear as a separate 
volume. 

* Dr. Clark's collection consists of over 7,000 specimens. 

Mr. Rathven Deane has by far the larsrest and most important collection of book- 
plates in the state of Illinois. The collection is somethins: over 8800. 700 of these are 
engraved by such artists as Sherbom. French. J. W. Spenceley. Smith, Macdonald 
Hopson, Eve, Garrett and Fincken.— The Lantern, (Chicago) July. 1913.

There are others also, to whom I am deeply 
indebted both for the use of plates to reproduce 
and for such responsive interest in correspondence 
as has frequently required much time, thought and 
personal effort. In this list are Mr. Charles Stew- 
art Davison, New York; Mr. William Coolidge 
Lane, Librarian, and Mr. Alfred C. Potter, Assist- 
ant Librarian, at Harvard; Mr. Dean P. Lock- 
wood, Acting Librarian, and Miss Clara T. Hill, 
an Assistant Librarian, at Columbia; Mr. Joseph 
C. Rowell, Librarian at the University of Cali- 
fornia; Mr. John C. Schwab, Librarian at Yale; 
Mr. George T. Little, Librarian at Bowdoin; Mr. 
George E. Nitzsche, Recorder, University of 
Pennsylvania: Mr. James L Wyer, Jr., Director, 
and Mr. William R. Watson, Acting Director, of 
the State Library of New York ; Professors Wil- 
bur H. Siebert and Thomas E. French of the Ohio 
State University ; Mr. Walter Conway Prescott of 
Newton Centre, Mass.; Mr. Clifford Nickels 
Carver, Secretary of the American Embassy, Lon- 
don ; The American Antiquarian Society of Wor- 
cester, Mass. ; Mr. A. W. Mackenzie and Mr. Wil- 
liam R. A. Hays of Columbus. Mr. H. P. Scott, 
Instructor, University of Michigan, assisted by 
checking descriptions. The accepted cover design 
is by Miss Lois Lenski, Class of 1915, Ohio State 
University. 

To many others am I obligated for courteous 
assistance in lesser degree. H. P. W.

* The bookplate reproductions on pages 371 to 399 are not, strictly speak-

large volume. — H. P. W.

A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 

By Theodore Wesley Koch 

BOOK plate has been described as a 
name plate decorated, not a decoration 
defaced by a name plate. The essential 
point is that it is a name-label, a means 
of identification for lost, strayed, or stolen vol- 
umes. Consequently anonymous book plates are 
anomalous. This name-label may be printed or 
engraved and the name may be expressed herald- 
ically or otherwise, but its prime object is, or was, 
when pasted inside the covers of a book or added 
to its title or fly-leaves, to proclaim the ownership 
of the book. 

The origin of the book plate is found in the 
desire of the owner of a book to retain possession 
of his property. Many estimable people find a 
diflSculty in distinguishing between mine and thine 
in books as well as in umbrellas. Therefore, both 
should be marked for identification. 

Books in the early libraries were chained. 
When they became cheaper and multiplied rapidly, 
the chains were done away with, but marks of 
ownership were placed either inside the covers or 
on the covers of books to prevent their straying. 
The marks of ownership on the covers usually con- 
sisted of monograms or coats-of-arms done in gold 

13

on the leather sides, and there are many ornate 
bindings in which such devices, called super libros, 
have been most attractively tooled. As books in 
the early libraries were laid flat on their sides, 
these devices showed up most effectively. 

The book plate, like the printed book, had its 
origin in Germany. Both date from the middle 
of the fifteenth century. Albrecht Diirer is known 
actually to have engraved six plates between 1503 
and 1516, and to have made designs for many oth- 
ers. Most of the larger and more wealthy mon- 
asteries used more than one plate. The advent of 
each new lord abbot was celebrated by the crea- 
tion of a new plate for the library. With indi- 
viduals it grew out of the various armorial bear- 
ings of the family. Frederick August, duke of 
Brunswick-Ols, had, in 1789, sixteen plates. More 
recently. Count Leiningen-Westerburg had twen- 
ty-one plates, all in use, and the Countess had eight 
foi* her own use. I have no data as to the size of 
the family library. The Count was an authority 
on the subject of book plates, had written a book 
on German ex-libris, and many of the twenty-nine 
different plates used by him and his wife were 
complimentary plates from well-known artists. 

A book plate is in no sense a part of the book* 
Its removal can be ordinarily effected without 
harming the book in any way. Many book plates 
are removed in order to give place to the new 

14

owner's plate, or to add to the collector's store. 
The ethics of this procedure has been questioned. 
It must be granted that there are cases when it 
would be almost an act of vandalism to remove 
a book plate, as in the case of a certain copy of 
the first edition of Pope's Dunciach 1729, well pre- 
served in the original binding, with the Chippen- 
dale book plate of David Hume, above which is 
the autograph signature of John Home, the oldest 
friend and executor of Hume. Remove the his- 
torian's book plate and the chain of association 
linking Pope, Hume, and Home is broken. A col- 
lector who would remove a coat-of-arms stamped 
in gold on the leather or vellum binding of a fine 
old book has been compared to the miser depicted 
by Hogarth in the act of cutting from the cover 
of the family Bible a piece of leather with which 
to mend his shoe. Book plates have not always 
been regarded as giving added value to the books 
they adorn. A writer in 1757, in speaking of a 
library offered for sale, says : "The books are in 
good order, and are little the worse for use, and 
have no arms in the best of them." 

Book plates, being intended to go into bookS) 
must appeal to book-lovers and will continue to 
interest those who like fine books well bound and 
properly cared for. The man who is insensible 
to the influence of a good book plate is probably 
insensible to the claims of good printing, the 

15 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



beauty of good book-making, and all the seduc- 
tions to which the bibliophile yields himself. Put- 
ting a harmoniously designed, well-executed plate 
into a book shows that the owner thinks enough 
of it to treat it with respect. "I urge upon all 
lovers of books to provide themselves with book 
plates," said Eugene Field. "Whenever I see a 
book that bears its owner's plate, I feel myself 
obligated to treat that book with special considera- 
tion. It carries with it a certificate of its master's 
love; the book plate gives the volume a certain 
status it would not otherwise have." 

Miss Agnes Repplier says that when she was 
a girl she had access to a small and well-chosen 
library, each volume of which was provided with 
a book plate containing a scaly dragon guarding 
the apples of Hesperides, and the motto "Honor 
and obligation demand the prompt return of bor- 
rowed books." These words, she continues, ate 
into her innocent soul and lent a pang to the sweet- 
ness of possession. Doubts as to the exact nature 
of "prompt return" made her painfully uncertain 
as to whether a month, a week, or a day was the 
limit which honor and obligation had set for her. 
Other and older borrowers were, however, less 
sensitive and, books being a rarity in that little 
southern town, most of the volumes were event- 
ually absorbed by the gaping shelves of neighbors, 
where perhaps some may still be found, "forgotten 

16

in dark and dusty comers, like gems that magpies 
hide." 

"Some people have an instinctive aversion to 
anything plated," said a recent writer in the Con- 
tributors' Club of the Atlantic Monthly, adding 
that he disliked plated books. He saw no apology 
for the person addicted to the substitution of a 
book plate for his genuine signature and was sure 
that no man with poetry in his soul would use a 
plate to record his ownership of a volume. "To 
establish that immortal communication between 
author and reader, that sense of intimate personal 
relation," said he, "the reader must not refuse the 
author his hand, and try to meet him, as it were, 
by proxy." "A book plate," in the mind of this 
critic, "indicates a certain love of ostentation. Is 
it fitting," he asks, "that an individual should sug- 
gest that his library is so voluminous that he can- 
not undertake the physical fatigue of writing his 
name in each book he possesses ? Public libraries, 
large and abstract collections, may make use of 
this mechanical means of identifying property, but 
the private library should be more modest, more 
personal." 

The defender of the book plate will answer 
that there is a decided objection to having names 
written into books, especially modern books, where 
the ink is almost sure to run and produce a blurred 
result. An autograph is usually inconspicuous 

17 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



and, with poor penmanship, it is ineffective. Un- 
less it be in ink on the title-page, it is more easily 
removed than the book plate. The latter is the 
silent witness against the book thief. "To have 
a book plate," says Edmund Gosse, "gives a col- 
lector great serenity and confidence." A book 
plate not only testifies to the owner's appreciation 
of his books, but, if of his own choosing, also 
reflects something of his character. A good book 
plate gives also a certain unity to what might oth- 
erwise be a very miscellaneous library. 

The use of coat-of-arms as an indication of 
ownership was very common in bygone days. 
Arms were cut in stone on the front of a house 
to indicate the family name of the owners, carved 
in furniture, woven in hangings, or engraved on 
the family silver, to carry out the same idea within 
the house, or emblazoned on the family carriage 
to declare to the world at large who it was that 
was going forth on one errand or another. Orig- 
inally the arms would not have the name appended. 
When a knowledge of heraldry was widespread 
the addition of the name to a coat-of-arms was 
unnecessary. The arms were as well known as 
the family name ; in fact, it was the name herald- 
ically expressed. Many retainers who could not 
read could easily recognize the family coat-of- 
arms. So, in the earliest armorial book plates, the 

18 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 



arms alone were engraved. The names appear 
only in the later plates. 

In the simple armorial plates, up to about 1720, 
the shield is surmounted by a helmet on which are 
the wreath and crest. With the decay of her- 
aldry, more and more attention was paid to the 
ornamentation or mantling and eventually the 
heraldic interest became of very minor import- 
ance. 

Some collectors limit their attention to armo- 
rial plates, as others limit their interests to those 
of other periods, or to those by special designers. 
Armorial plates are in questionable taste for most 
American families. The use of them reminds one 
of a question put to a certain gentleman who had 
assumed what appeared to be a veritable coat-of- 
arms. "Are those really your arms?" he was 
asked. "They ought to be," was the reply, "for 
I made them myself." 

I know of librarians who scoff at the idea of 
a book plate, and many people smile at those who 
take a serious interest in collecting book plates 
A writer in the London Daily News stirred up a 
"tempest in a tea-pot" some twenty years ago by 
an article entitled "The Burden of Book Plates.'- 
"Let infancy frolic and senile fatuity count its two 
penny treasures," said this scribe, "but why, of 
all things, collect book plates? Are there not 
door-knockers which a man may collect, or visiting 

19 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 

cards of all ages, or muffin bells, or old books, or 
political walking sticks, or the decayed hairbrushes 
of celebrities, all of which are instructive and 
amusing, compared to book plates?" Mr. Hardy 
writes about the propriety of removing book plates 
from books "for the purpose of study and compar- 
ison." "Study and comparison of warming pans I 
Even an old warming pan is an enviable piece of 
portable property compared with a book plate. 

It seems about as agreeable a possession as 
an old postage stamp." Well, we know of those 
who put a great deal of time, money, and enthu- 
siasm into the collecting of postage stamps and 
dignify their hobby by calling it philately. The 
collector of ex-libris is not to be lightly put aside. 
He is only one kind of a bibliophile. Anyone with 
a hobby is to be envied, not derided. "Here lies 
Smith, who was nothing, not even a collector of 
postage stamps," would not be the epitaph of a 
cheerful man. 

The size of a collector's library, it must be 
confessed, is usually in inverse ratio to the num- 
ber of personal plates which he owns. An ama- 
teur with too many individual plates is to be looked 
upon with suspicion. "A fool and his book plate 
are soon parted," said Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in 
characterizing those who have a book plate pri- 
marily for purposes of exchange with other col- 
lectors. There are collectors who have had new 

20 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 

plates made or new impressions of old plates 
struck off on a different colored paper, expressly 
for the purpose of adding another plate to their 
exchange list. They resemble the Central and 
South American principalities which have new 
issues of postage stamps struck off every little 
while, seemingly for the purposes of revenue 
through their sale to collectors. It is this class 
of collectors who have brought down some of the 
more severe criticisms upon the whole subject of 
ex-libris collecting. 

Then, too, there have been unprincipled deal- 
ers who have attached ex-libris (generally coun- 
terfeits or reprints) to inferior volumes in order 
to promote their sale. The plate of George Wash- 
ington is thus far the only American one thought 
worthy of counterfeiting. Some years ago a 
number of volumes purporting to have come from 
Washington's library were offered for sale at auc- 
tion. They all had what claimed to be his book 
plate, but a comparison of it with the original 
showed it to be clearly a forgery. The purpose of 
the forger was defeated by the cheat being cried 
out in the auction room. 

The natural desire to protect his own book 
property is seen in the schoolboy, who is given to 
writing the simplest form of an ex-libris on the 
fly-leaf of his text-book: "Bill Jones, his book." 
This plain statement of fact is elaborated into a 

21 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



variety of forms. The following is copied from 
an old schoolbook found in Canterbury, England: 

This book is mine 

By right divine 

And if so be, it go astray 

Please be so kind 

My desk to find 

And stow it safe away. 

Schoolboys in old England were fond of in- 
scribing in their books these verses: 

Steale not this book for fear of shame 
For here you see ye owner hys name 
And when you dye ye Lord will saye 
Where is that boke ou stole away? 
Then if you saye, you cannot telle,

Variant forms of versified prophecies of what 
will happen to the book thief are quite plentiful. 
The following was at one time popular with youths 
fond of scribbling over the fly-leaves of their 
books : 

My Master's name above you see, 

Take heede ther fore you steale not mee; 

For if you doe, without delay 

Your necke for me shall pay. 

Looke doune below and you shal see 

The picture of the gallowstree ; 

Take heede ther fore of thys in time. 

Lest on this tree you highly clime.

Another doggerel manuscript ex-libris used 
to be made up in this fashion:

If thou art borrowed by a friend, 

Right welcome shall he be 
To read, to study, not to lend. 
But to return to me. 

Not that imparted knowledge doth

But books, I find, if often lent, 

Return to me no more. 

Sometimes there was appended the following 
advice and caution: 

« 

Read slowly, pause freqently. 

Think seriously. 
Keep cleanly, return duly. 
With the corners of the leaves not turned down. 

Some book-owners have gone to Scripture for 
their book plate inscriptions. Mr. George N. 
Noyes uses the following : "And if a man borrow 
aught of his neighbor and it is hurt he shall surely 
make it good** (Exod. 22:14). An apprentice's 
library has used the following: "Take fast hold 
of instruction, let her not go; keep her, for she 
is thy life" (Prov. 4:13).

There is a wide range from the generous and 
dignified legend on the plate of Grolier "Jo. Gro- 
lierii et Amicorum** (the property of John Grolier 
and his friends) to such as: 

Tm stingy grown 
What's mine's my own. 

An anonymous plate has: "This book was 
bought at the sign of the Shakespeare Head. Bor- 
rowing neighbors are recommended to supply 
themselves in the same manner." 

Dr. Holmes once said mottoes should be given 
in pairs so that one might offset the other. I 
therefore give the following as an antidote to the 
last quoted: 

Fm not one of those selfish elves 
Who keep their treasures to themselves. 
I like to see them kept quite neat, 
But not for moth or worm to eat. 
Thus willingly to any friend 
A book of mine I'll freely lend 
Hoping they'll mind this good old mean, 
Return it soon and keep it clean. 

We have seen that the use of a book plate is 
no modem fad, though the collecting of the book 
plates is of comparatively recent origin. Various 
interests center around book plates. These might 
be listed as follows: 



24 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 

1. The Personal Interest. — This would be 
called forth by the plates of such men as George 
Washington, William Penn, Gladstone, Gambetta, 
Horace Walpole, Samuel Pepys, David Garrick, 
Hogarth, Sir Henry Irving, all of whom used book 
plates which have been reproduced in the litera- 
ture of the subject. 

2. The Genealogical Interest.— This is 
exemplified particularly in the sequence of plates 
belonging to old families given to book-collecting 
for several generations. 

3. The Heraldic Interest.— Heraldry is a 
conspicuous element in the older plates, the 
majority of which are of armorial design. In no 
way can one get a better or more comprehensive 
survey of the changes in heraldic design. 

4. The Historical Interest. —Something of 
the history of engraving and the arts of illustration 
is sure to be imbibed by those who dip into the 
history of book plates. Even if one only learns 
to distinguish between a copper plate and a steel 
engraving, an etching and a zinc plate, he has 
acquired valuable information. When he is able 
to distinguish between a Jacobean and a Chippen- 
dale plate, he has made a considerable advance. 
Before long the amateur is able to judge of the 
approximate date of a plate and to characterize 
its style in proper fashion. A dated plate may 
help to give definite information in regard to the 

25 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 

history of a particular style of engraving or 
design, or otherwise throw light on the book it 
adorns. 

5. Artistic Interest.— DUrer, Holbein, 
Lucas Cranach the younger, Piranesi, Bartolozzi, 
Hogarth and Bewick, among the old engravers, did 
not think the designing of book plates beneath 
their dignity. Among modern artists of note who 
have designed book plates, mention may be made 
of Sir Frederick Leighton, Sir John Millais, 
Aubrey Beardsley, Edwin A. Abbey, Miss Kate 
Greenaway, Walter Crane, Louis Rhead, and 
Randolph Caldecott. These names should suffice 
to arrest the attention of the carping critic, if only 
long enough to see how these artists have handled 
the problem. Many plates by artists of no great 
note are worthy of study on account of the beauty 
of design or artistic workmanship. 

In 1880 there appeared A Guide to the Study 
of Book Plates, by the Hon. J. Leicester Warren, 
who later became Lord de Tabley. In classifying 
book plates he divided them into broad classes, 
such as Jacobean, Chippendale, allegorical, and the 
like. His classification has been accepted by later 
writers and is now so generally followed that we 
must pause for a moment to study it. 

The term Jacobean, as applied to a book plate, 
is somewhat misleading, but it is understood to 
mean the heavy decorative style in vogue during 

26 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 



the Restoration, Queen Anne, and early Georgian 
days. This style was in vogue approximately 
from 1700 to 1750. The book plate had by that 
time become a recognized essential in a well- 
ordered private or public library. The plates of 
the period are armorial in type, the decoration is 
limited to a symmetrical grouping of the mantling 
and an occasional display of palms and wreaths. 
The mantling surrounds the face of the shield as 
the periwig of the portraits of the period sur- 
rounds the face of the subject. It springs from 
either side of the helmet into elaborate patterns. 
The manner had been imported from France but 
soon assumed English characteristics of its own. 
The decoration was conventional, remarkable for 
its solidity rather than its gracefulness. The de- 
sign was strictly symmetrical, massive, and im- 
posing from its heaviness. The plates of the 
period have a carved appearance. 

During the middle third of the eighteenth cen- 
tury a flamboyant rococo style of engraving was 
in vogue which was named Chippendale, after the 
designer of furniture, many of the patterns in his 
books being reflected in the book plates of the 
period. The distinguishing feature of the Chip- 
pendale book plate is a fanciful arrangement of 
scroll and shellwork with acanthus-like sprays. 
The grouping was usually unsymmetrical so as to 
give a freer scope for a great variety of counter- 



2 



n 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



curves. Straight and concentric lines were avoided. 
The Chippendale plates are lacking in variety of 
design. The type was in vogue only for a score 
of years, but during that time it was the fashion 
in copper-plate engraving generally. The charac- 
teristic of the style is the frilled border of open 
scallop shellwork set close to the escutcheon, and 
more or less inclosing it. George Washington's 
plate is a good example of the Chippendale style. 

The similarity of the Chippendale patterns 
reminds one of the story of the traveling artist 
who was employed by an innkeeper to paint a blue 
boar for a sign. "Fll try the boar," said the man, 
"but I have never painted anything else than a red 
lion, and so don't be surprised if your blue boar 
turns into a red lion when I've done." It seems 
equally impossible for the designer of a particular 
period to get away from the characteristics of 
that period. 

During the latter third of the eighteenth cen- 
tury, new styles were adopted by the engravers. 
Among these mention may be made of the simple 
and chaste design known as the ribbon and wreath 
style. Originality began to assert itself and a 
great variety of motifs appeared — pastoral scenes, 
landscape effects, pictorial compositions, and 
library interiors of all kinds. When steel engrav- 
ing came into use in the beginning of the nine- 
teenth century, it had the effect of continuing the 

28 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 

formality of the previous century. It was also 
used later in connection with the copper-plate de- 
signing, by furnishing the plate-maker with a 
harder surface with which to cover the copper. 
With the development of photo-mechanical proc- 
esses in the latter half of the century came greater 
freedom and ease in the reproduction of the origi- 
nal sketch. Etching had not only rivaled copper- 
plate engraving, but had come to be used with it. 
Photo-engraving, or the half-tone process, is 
hardly a legitimate means of reproducing a book- 
plate design. While it is the most common method 
of reproducing a photograph or wash drawing, 
neither of these media furnishes satisfactory de- 
signs for book plates, although they have some- 
times been used fairly satisfactorily in connection 
with line work. Line work is the basis of ninety- 
nine out of every hundred book plates whether 
done on copper, steel, or zinc. 

The success of an engraved plate depends, not 
only on the skill of the designer, but also upon that 
of the engraver. In the case of such men as C. 
W. Sherborn, E. D. French, and J. W. Spenceley, 
both the design and execution were done by them- 
selves or under their close supervision. This 
brings engraved plates by men of note up to a 
high cost. Consequently recourse is had to 
cheaper methods of reproduction, and the one 

29 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



most in vogue is the zinc cut. The danger of this 
lies in its cheapness. 

Anyone who owns a book plate is likely to be 
interested in the subject. So also is the person 
who hopes some day to have his or her own book 
plate. The latter may welcome a few suggestions. 
A book plate ought not, according to all precedent 
and the canons of good taste, to try to rival a 
poster, or a book-wrapper, or ornate end papers. 
It ought not to be much larger than two by three 
inches. It should be small enough to go easily on 
the inside of the cover of any volume without 
crowding. Japan vellum or plate paper are good 
papers on which to print plates. Too thick a 
paper is difficult to paste down. Do not have the 
plates gummed. The name should be clearly 
drawn, not in hieroglyphics, and should not be 
run in on the bias, nor in any fanciful way. 

The motif should be appropriate to the gen- 
eral run of books the plate is to adorn. A jester 
is permissible in the ex-libris of a comedian like 
Francis Wilson, but would hardly be suitable for 
a philosophical library. Humorous plates are in 
general to be avoided. The humor will be sure to 
pall upon you and your friends. Designers are 
often called upon to do things against their best 
judgment. One designer was asked by a patron 
of considerable avoirdupois to include in the plate 
he had ordered the representation of an elephant, 

30 



A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES 



as that was the nickname by which he was known 
among his friends. Another wanted "a girl, with 
sandals on, standing by the sea, over which the 
moonlight was streaming ; bulrushes or something 
in the foreground. And," he added, "give me 
plenty of moonlight." 

Portrait plates are not at all common. Most 
of those that have been made date from the latter 
half of the nineteenth century. Diirer's friend, 
Bilibald Pirkheimer, is known to have had a plate 
of this kind which he pasted on the back covers 
of his books. Good old Bishop John Racket, of 
Lichfield, presented a number of books to Trinity 
College, Cambridge, in each of which was pasted 
his portrait and the motto "Serve God and be 
cheerful." 

The tendency to overload a plate with details 
with a view to suggesting the proclivities of the 
owner is to be decried. As Mr. Charles Dexter 
Allen says, "One sometimes sees a plate that has 
so much of the life-history of the owner within 
its small compass that at a glance it is evident to 
all that he glories in golf, has a regard for roses, 
rides a wheel, esteems Omar Khayyam very 
highly, reads Scott and Lowell, can quote Shake- 
speare, has been to Switzerland, collects butter- 
flies, and lives in New Jersey." 

Institutional Plates. —While the private 
individual can indulge his fancy in any way he may 

31 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 

desire, the institutional plate must be more dig- 
nified. The motif must be something more in 
keeping with the history and character of the in- 
stitutional library which it is to adorn. In the 
remarkable array of reproductions which Major 
Ward has brought together under these covers a 
distinct contribution has been made to the litera- 
ture of ex-libris. Most of what has been printed on 
the subject and the majority of the reproductions 
which have been made relate to plates belonging 
to private individuals. The present work ought 
to be of value not only to the student of ex-libris, 
but also to the librarian in search of a suitable 
design for the library under his charge or for some 
special collection. Here can be seen every variety 
of book plate, from the simplest label to the most 
elaborate copper plates. 

It is interesting to study by means of these 
excellent reproductions the development of an ap- 
preciation of good designs as evidenced in the 
transition from the earliest plates used at Colum- 
bia and Harvard to the most recent ones. Here 
can be seen specimens of the work of the most 
noted American designers and engravers. Many 
plates reproduced in these pages will be seen for 
the first time by connoisseurs who have not had 
access to the originals. For reasons that are evi- 
dent the original plates of many libraries are not 
available for exchange and so do not get into the 
hands of collectors.

THE BOOKPLATES 

LELAND STANFORD JR. UNIVERSITY 
Palo Alto, California 

The Meaning of the Frontispiece 

{From The Stanford Alumnus^ January, 1913) 

The Jewel Fund bookplate is made the frontispiece of the 
Alumnus this month not merely because the readers of the mag- 
azine will be interested in seeing the unique and beautiful design 
which is being affixed to the University's books, but because 
Stanford's alumni will perceive in it, summed up and epitomized 
by a master artist, the spirit which maintained and animated the 
University in its early days, and which still persists. To Stanford 
men and women there is a deeper symbolism in Blashfield's simple 
and dignified composition than appears to others. To these others 
Athene, goddess of learning, panoplied in her helmet, coat of mail 
and owl-escutchioned shield, seated in a portico, with scroll and 
laurel at her feet, is accepting the gifts of Clio, muse of history, 
and in return conferring upon her the winged statue, wreath and 
balm in hand, emblem of victory. To us there is deeper purport — 
we catch the full significance that the artist intended when he 
made a rope of pearls conspicuous in the casket of all her wealth 
that Clio offers with outstretched arms. And it was this deeper 
significance that touched Blashfield and persuaded him to do 
something he had never done before, to accept a commission to 
design a bookplate. 

For it may be imagined that it was no simple matter to 
persuade an artist who is accustomed, as he is, to the sweep and 
color and varied composition possible on the walls and domes of 
great buildings to contract his brush stroke to the space and limits 
of a bookplate. But when the Jewel Fund was established and a 
bookplate to symbolize its meaning was desired, it was felt that 
Blashfield, with his classic spirit, his purity of line and his dignity 
of design, was the man to do it if he would. 

The conception that had formed in the minds of those who 
had the matter in charge was this: The story of the jewels is one 
that will be told as long as the University lives; it will be the 
theme of orators to fire their hearers with the spirit of the heroic 

33 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 

early days; it is a chapter in the annals of Stanford that will 
always be fresh; the story of the noble woman who offered without 
reserve all the wealth that was left in her hands and said, "The 
University can be kept alive by these till the skies clear and the 
money that was destined for the future shall come into the future's 
hands" is a part of history. And so they proposed to the artist 
a fitting: theme, Clio, the muse of history, offering gifts to Athene. 
With this suggestion, also, they sent President Jordan's tribute 
to Mrs. Stanford, with its story of the jewels. 

This narration of the devotion of a noble woman, so fittingly 
written, epic in its elevation, idyllic in its simplicity, was the in- 
spiration of the artist. With enthusiasm Blashfield seized upon the 
task of drawing the bookplate, and soon had finished the first 
sketch of his composition. In it he had added a new thought, com- 
pleting the story. The winged victory in the picture is Blashfield's 
own idea. It says a word in the telling of the story that had never 
been said so clearly before. Others had told of the sacrifice and 
struggle; he emphasized the victory. 

The idea at first was to reproduce the design by engraving, 
and the artist made a pen and ink drawing from his orig^inal 
charcoal, with that in view. But it seemed to him that the spirit 
of his idea could be conveyed better by retaining the soft gradations 
of the charcoal than by the sharp black and white of pen and 
engraver's tool. As a consequence, the method of reproduction 
finally agreed upon was the form of photogravure seen in the book- 
plate. 

Edwin Rowland Blashfield is, of course, one of the leading 
artists of this country. Of late years his fame as a mural painter 
has so overshadowed his earlier work in other forms of paint- 
ing that he is thought of always by the average American in that 
connection. He was born in 1848 in New York, where he still 
makes his home. He is, therefore, sixty-five years old. While 
still a youth he took up the study of art in Paris under a num- 
ber of eminent painters, all of whom perceived his genius. In 
1874 he had his first picture in the Salon, and for a number of 
years his work was hung there annually. In 1881 he returned 
to the United States. His first great piece of mural painting to 
attract popular attention was in one of the domes of the Manu- 
factures Building at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Since 
then his brush has beautified the interior of a multitude of public 
buildings and magnificent private homes. The great central dome 

34 



UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES 

of the Library of Con^n^ess in Washin^on, one of the most splen- 
didly decorated buildings in the world, shows the work of his 
hand. He is an author, also, and has lectured on art at Columbia, 
Yale, Harvard and other colleges. A broad-minded, mellow- 
souled man, as was shown three years ago by an address he made 
before the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which was 
afterwards printed in the North American Review on "The Actual 
State of Art Among Us." A genial gentleman, yet just in his 
censure, strict in his ideals; a man able to laugh quietly at pass- 
ing folly and to hold to his optimism for the future; a man with 
the quick perception and buoyancy of youth, the broad vision and 
steadfastness of age. Such by his spoken thought he shows him- 
self. A man peculiarly qualified to commemorate with an artist's 
touch, for all the future generations of Stanford students, a lofty 
passage in the University's history, to symbolize it for an enduring 
inspiration to their youth. 

The Story of the Jewels 

In President Jordan's recent book, "The Story of a Good 
Woman," which is in substance his Founders' Day address in 1909, 
he quotes the story of the Jewel Fund, which in turn was first 
presented by him at the foundation of the Library Building in 
1905. It was this narration of Mrs. Stanford's struggle and sac- 
rifice in the days of trial for the University, and particularly his 
history of the jewels, a narration that in the simplicity of its 
langfuage and the directness of its sentiment has the favor of an 
allegory, that inspired Blashfield the artist in designing the book- 
plate. The bookplate and this story of the jewels supplement and 
interpret each other, belong naturally together. Dr. Jordan's 
words are therefore given here: 

"There was once a man — a real man, vigorous, wealthy and 
powerful. He loved his wife greatly, for she, wise, loyal, devoted, 
was worthy of such love. And because among all the crystals in 
all the world the diamond is the hardest and sparkles the brightest, 
and because the ruby is most charming, and the emerald gentlest — 
the man bought gifts of these all for his wife. 

"As the years passed a great sorrow came to them; their only 
child died in the glory of his youth. In their loneliness there came 
to these two the longing to help other children, to use their 
wealth and power to aid the youth of future generations to better 

35 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 

and stronger life. They lived in California and they loved Cali- 
fornia; and because California loved them, as she loves all her 
children, this man said, 'The children of California shall be my 
children/ To make this true in very fact he built for them a 
beautiful *Castle in Spain/ with cloisters and towers, and 'red 
tile roofs against the azure sky' — for 'skies are bluest in the heart 
of Spain/ This castle, the Castle of Hope, which they called the 
university, they dedicated to all who might enter its gates, and it 
became to them the fulfilment of the dream of years — a dream of 
love and hope, of faith in God and good will toward man. 

"In the course of time the man died. The power he bore 
vanished; his wealth passed to other hands; the work he had 
begun seemed likely to fail. But the woman rose from her second 
great sorrow and set herself bravely to the task of completing tho 
work as her husband had planned it. 'The children of California 
shall be my children' — that thought once spoken could never be 
unsaid. The doors of the castle once opened could never be closed. 
To those who helped her in these days she said: 'We may lose 
the farms, the railways, the bonds, but still the jewels remain. 
The university can be kept alive by these till the skies clear and 
the money which was destined for the future shall come into the 
future's hands. The university shall be kept open. When there 
is no other way, there are still the jewels.' 

"Because there always remained this last resource, the woman 
never knew defeat. No one can who strives for no selfish end. 
'God's errands never fail,' and her errand was one of good will and 
mercy. And when the days were darkest, the time came when 
it seemed the jewels must be sold. Across the sea to the great 
city this sorrowful, heroic woman journeyed alone with the bag 
of jewels in her hand that she might sell them to the money 
changers that flocked to the Queen's Jubilee. Sad, pathetic mis- 
sion, fruitless, in the end, but full of all promise for the future of 
the university, founded in faith and hope and love — the trinity, 
St. Paul says, of things that abide. 

"But the jewels were not sold, save only a few of them, and 
these served a useful purpose in beginning anew the work of build- 
ing the university. Better times came. The money of the estate, 
freed from litigation, became available for its destined use. The 
jewels found their way back to California to be held in reserve 
against another time of need. 

36 



UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES 



"A noble church was erected — one of the noblest in the land, 
a fitting* part of the beautiful dream castle, the university. It 
needed to make it perfect the warmth of ornamentation, the glory 
of the old masters, who wrought *when art was still religion.' To 
this end the jewels were dedicated. It was an appropriate use, 
but the need again passed. Other resources were found to adorn 
the church — to fill its windows with beautiful pictures, to spread 
upon its walls exquisite mosaics like those of St. Mark's, rivaling 
even the precious stones of Venice. 

"In the course of time the woman died also. She had the 
satisfaction of seeing the buildings of the university completed, 
the cherished plans of her husband, to which she had devoted 
anxious years, fully carried out. Death came to her in a foreign 
land, but in a message written before her departure to be read at 
the laying of the cornerstone of the great library, she made known 
the final destiny of the jewels. She directed that they be sold and 
their value made a permanent endowment of the library of the 
university. 

"And so the jewels have at last come to be the enduring 
possession of all the university — of all who may tread these fields 
or enter these corridors. In the memory of the earlier students 
they stand for the Quadrangle, whose doors they kept open, and 
for the adornment of the church, which shall be to all generations 
of students a source of joy and rest, a refining and uplifting in- 
fluence. To the students who are to come in future days the 
message of the jewels will be read in the books they study within 
these walls and the waves of their influence spreading out shall 
touch the uttermost parts of the earth. 

"They say there is a language of precious stones, but I know 
that they speak in diverse tongues. Some diamonds tell strange 
tales, but not these diamonds. In the language of the jewels of 
Stanford may be read the lessons of faith, of hope and good will. 
They tell how Stanford was founded in love of the things that 
abide."

This plate in memory of a thorough scholar, an enthusiastic 
teacher and a devoted friend, illustrates the linest work of J. W, 
Spenceley in formal, as contrasted with pictorial, design. His 
success may be attributed to his full sympathy with an inspiring 
subject. He has beautifully drawn and spaced an unusual amount 
of lettering; and the central line, "Marius J. Spinello," is accen- 
tuated sufficiently to make it, as it deserves, the more conspicuous. 
A delicate stipple adds just the needed finish.— J. C. ROWEU.,

The "Detur" plate was the first one engraved for Harvard Col- 
lege, and was done by Nathaniel Hurd of Boston about 1750. It 
conformed to the English fashion, and was the seal of the College, 
surrounded by a wreath of holly and surmounted by a ribbon 
bearinK the words, "Detur DiKniori." This plate was placed in 
the books which were presented by the College to students as 
prizes. The ori^nnal copper engraved for this plate is still in pos- 
session of the Library. The seal of the Colleg^ as used now is a 
circular border, upon which is "SigiHum Academiae Harvardianae 
in Nov. Ang." Within this border, on a background of gold is 
the shield of the College arms surrounded by the words "Christo 
et Ecclesiae." The arms are three open books bearing the word 
"Ve-Ri-Tas," on a red ground. At the time the "Detur" plate 
was engraved the arms were a chevron of silver between the three 
books (without the Veritas) on the red background, etc. The 
seal and arms were changed in different bookplates. Harvard 
Graduates' Magazine, September, 1912. 

Used for books given to good scholars under the will of Edward 
Hopkins, Esq., an early benefactor of the College, who died in 
1667. — William C. Lane, Librarian.

(Se« pHgee 108 and 109) 

The Hancock plate, engraved by Hurd in 1764 or *65 was de- 
signed for the books bought with the Five Hundred Pounds given 
by John Hancock in fulfillment of a subscription made by his 
uncle, Thomas Hancock, after the destruction of the Library in 

1764. The donor subsequently added £54-4 to cover the actual 
expense of the 1098 volumes bought. Later impressions of the 
same plate without the inscription show more or less wear and 
some re-cutting. The same plate was used for the Shapleigh be- 
quest, received in 1800, and for the books from Professor Ebeling's 
library, presented by Israel Thorndike in 1818. 

At about the same time, Hurd engraved the second plate 
which was used for gifts. In its earliest form it is distinguished 
by the absence of the sun in splendor above the crest and by the 
inscription, "The gift of" in script. This soon gave place to the 
words "ex dono" and still later a sun with rays was added at the 
top. A third plate, copied from Hurd's was engraved in London 
shortly afterwards to be used for books given by Thomas Hollis 
of Lincoln's Inn. The date 1650 on these plates is the date, not 
of the founding of the College, but of the first charter, establishing 
the President and Fellows of Harvard College as a Corporation. 
William C. Lane, Librarian. 

The Hancock plate, by Nathaniel Hurd, was engraved about 

1765, for the Hancock gift. The seal, surrounded by an elaborate 
frame with fruit and flowers, was surmounted by a pile of three 
books and a shining sun. Below was a looped curtain, backed bv 
a frame, scrolled and finished at the bottom by a canephorus head. 
On the curtain was the word "Hancock" in large capitals. It 
was signed "N. Hurd Sc. Boston." This plate was mentioned 
in the New England Magazine in 1832, and it states that these 
prints done in red ink were for use in the valuable books which 
the students were not allowed to take from the library. The books 
in which this plate was placed were bought from the subscription 
of Governor John Hancock of Boston. 

About the same time Hurd .engraved a new copper plate copy- 
ing this last design in most particulars, but the curtain bore the 
words, "The Gift of," instead of "Hancock." The plate was altered 
many times by placing inscriptions on the curtain corresponding 
to the succeeding gifts. 

This design was closely copied by another engraver of Harvard 
plates, A. Bowen. — Harvard Graduates* Magazine^ September^ 
1912. 

Of the Hohensollem plate on pase 111. Ira Hutchinson Brainerd states in his 
Edwin Davis French Memorial — "No German engraver, inspired by patriotism 
and breathinsr the air of the Diirer country, ever g&ve a wilder vifcor and more 
triumphant majesty to the eagle of the HohenzoIIems than Mr. French has jriven 
it here."

James Russell Lowell bequeathed to Harvard College Library 
all his books of which the Library did not already possess copies. 
Under this provision the Library received in 1891 over 800 volumes 
and a number of pamphlets. In 1900 a considerable part of what 
remained of his library was purchased by subscription and given 
to the College to become a separate Lowell Memorial Library of 
Romance Literature. For this Mr. Bertram G. Goodhue designed 
a bookplate. The plate bears the shield of the College on a tree of 
knowledge, and in the four corners of the design are shields repre- 
senting mediaeval France, Castile and Leon, Portugal and Florence. 
The plates used in the books coming from Mr. Lowell's library 
bear the additional inscription "From the Library of James Russell 
Lowell, purchased by subscription MDCCCC." These two lines 
are omitted from the plate as used for later additions. — Wiixiam

The plate designed by H. Billings and engraved by G. G. Smith 
about 1843, was first used in books bought with the Donation Fund 
of 1842, which was a subscription amounting to $21,000, the money 
being spent in the course of the following eight years. The same 
plate appears with the engraved inscription — "From the Bequest 
of the Hon. William Prescott of Boston, received March 1st, 1845." 
It also appears without inscription and with several printed in- 
scriptions for special gifts. In 1859 the form of the seal was 
changed to a shield with three open books and a chevron. The 
word "Veritas'" disappears. The inscription on the border is 
"Sigillum Academiae Harvardianae in Nov Ang," within which 
appear the words "Christo et Ecclesiae." This plate was super- 
seded in 1860 or thereabout by a wood-cut of Andrew Filmer's 
following the style of the earlier Hurd plate. — William C. Lane, 
Librarian, 

The Prescott plate engraved by Smith, designed by H. Billings 
in 1845, to mark the bequest of William Prescott of Boston, being 
the $3,000 used for the purchase of old books on American History. 
Above a simple curtain is the seal, whose frame of fruit and flowers 
is replaced by an august assemblage of gods and goddesses. The 
seal is very peculiar. On the border are the words "Academiae 
Harvardianae Sigillum 1638." The arms are in a cartouche, which 
is on a background tinctured blue (the heraldic signiflcance of 
shading being disregarded). The arms also are blue instead of 
red, with three books and without the chevron. The lowest book 
is turned with its back to the observer, and on the books is 
"Ve-Ri-Tas." The "Christo et Ecclesiae" is left out. The seal 
part of this plate was re-engraved by Billings & Smith about 1855, 
and the seal and arms returned to the original forms and inscrip- 
tions. — Harvard Graduates^ Magazine, September ^ 1912.

The splendid plate used in the Library of the Classical Sem- 
inary is worthy of special note. Its charm is due to its symmetry 
and elegance. The temple shown was not drawn from any particu- 
lar temple; but the Doric order used here is the same as that 
in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, the only difference being that 
the original temple had six columns in front, while this shows only 
four. The head is taken from a Greek coin and shows the youth' 
ful Apollo. The Greek inscription is taken from an ode of Pindar 
and reads: "0 King Apollo Lover of the Castalian fount upon 
Parnassus," referrinur, of course, to the spring at Delphi. En- 
graved by Tiffany and Co, — CUFFORD N1CKEL3 CaBVER, in Book-

The plate which was given to the Library with the collection 
of books upon Lo^ic and Metaphysics by the Class of 1882, is 
very similar in style to the plate used in the Classical Seminary 
Library. The temple is Ionic and represents, in a way, the temple 
of Athena at Athens, thougib the engraver has taken some liberties 
with the original. The Greek inscription is the opening of Aris- 
totle's Metaphysics; it reads, "All men have a longing for knowl- 
edge." Engraved by Tiffany. — Cliffokd Nickels Carveb, in

GEORGE BURTON ADAMS 

Professor of History, Yale University 

The engravinf; for thia plate by Mr. W. F. Hopson is adapted 
from the castle of Ehrenbur^ in the Moselle valley. The castle 
was selected as the subject of the plate because it is especially 
typical of the small feudal castle, and has peculiar interest from 
the unusual form of the keep, from the inner cliff forming the 
main wall of the interior ward, and from the large round tower 
which contains a spiral driveway for wagfons to the upper level.

HENRY DUNSTER 
First President of Harvard College 

Two book-labels used by Henry Dunster, the first President of 
Harvard College, 1640-1654, both examplcE probably unique. 

The earlier, "March 27, 1629," is found in a little copy of 
Tacitus, edited by Lipsius, and printed in Amsterdam, 1623, It 
bears also the name of "Simon Bradstreet, 1708." 

The later, in Greek, reading in translation, "Henry Dunster, 
the owner of this book in the year 1633," is pasted at the bottom 
of the title-page of Dunster's Hebrew and Greek Bible, an octavo 
volume printed by Plantin in Antwerp in 1573-74. Thb Bible 
was the one commonly used by President Dunster during his 
administration. It was presented to the College in 1841 by the 
three Misses Dunster of Pembroke. Mass., daughters of Rev. Isaiah 
Dunster and lineal descendants of the President. 

Both labels must have been printed in England. Dunster took 
his A.B. at Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1630, and his A.M. 
in 1634. He came over to New England in 1640. William C. 
Lane, Librarian.

BETA THETA PI 

Beta Chapter, Western Reserve Univeraity 

Ray Warren Irvin of Cleveland, designed this plate in April, 
1915, for use in the library of the Western Reserve chapter, the 
Beta of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. He has empioyed in the 
plate the symbolism of the Fraternity, the central feature being 
the Fraternity coat of arms, as differenced by the Reserve chapter. 
The crescent on the shield is the mark of difference, denoting- sec- 
ond in line of descent, and corresponds to the mark of difference 
or cadency used by second sons. The original coat of arms, bearing 
no marks of any kind, is reserved as the insi^ia of the Alpha chap- 
ter, at Miami University, and of the National Fraternity. The 
Greek motto on the Reserve plate is translated "The Highest." 
The two dates on the ribbon refer to the founding of the Fraternity 
and the establishment of the Reserve chapter, respectively. In 
the background design is used a conventionalized form of the 
Beta rose.

INTRODUCTION 

N the entry in his diary for July 21, 1668, Samuel 
Pepys speaks of the "little plate for my books." 
A hundred years later Horace Walpole in his 
"Anecdotes of Painting" and "Catalogue of Engravers," 
published at famous Strawberry Hill Press, mentions 
Bookplates, although not by that specific title. From such 
casual mention of Ex Libris it is a far cry to the three fat 
volumes of the British Museum (Franks) Catalogue 
which list and describe over thirty-five thousand Book- 
plates. It is likewise far from the single reproduction of 
Lord de Tabley's Book-Plate in his "Poems Dramatic and 
Lyrical," to the "Archives de la Societe Frangaise des Col- 
lectionneurs d'Ex Libris," which, entirely devoted to 
Bookplates, has appeared in monthly parts for twenty-one 
years. Yet between these poles lies the literature of 
Bookplates. 

What constitutes this "literature"? In the follow- 
ing bibliography will be found a number of starred (*) 
items, (about 30% of the total number of items). 
These are books which, while not primarily written upon 
the subject of Bookplates, yet contain mention of them, 
often reproductions of plates, and at times considerable 
chapters or descriptions. Perhaps such items should 
not be included in a list of Ex Libris books. It is true 
that the Bookplate passages of many of them are merely 
notes, yet on the other hand they are often valuable to 
the collector. For instance, such a volume as that by 
Beaupre undoubtedly helped the pioneer collectors in the 
then uncharted and vast wilderness of early French Ex 
Libris. And who would disparage the value of the auto- 
biography of Edwin Davis French, an autobiography 

403 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



almost entirely given up to Mr. French's Bookplate 
work, which was printed in the rare "Catalogue of the 
Engravings issued by the Society of Iconophiles" ? 

Of course the library pertaining to his hobby which 
a Bookplate collector gathers, will accord with his per- 
sonal tastes and desires, as well as with the kind of 
Bookplate collection which he is making. An older col- 
lector with whom I correspond, refuses to own anything 
except standard works, such as the "Ex Libris Series" 
(the volumes by Allen, Castle and Hamilton, published 
by Bell & Sons of London), and others of like nature of 
other countries. Still another collector contents him- 
self with the Franks Catalogue and other such lists as 
those by Warnecke and Gerster. Others, like myself, 
will take anything which mentions Bookplates, even to 
modern novels, three of which appear in the following 
bibliography, although one of these, "His Official Fian- 
cee" by Berta Ruck (Mrs. Oliver Onions), says no more 
on the subject than, "Cicely positively 'collects,' just as 
some people collect book-plates." 

The differences in Bookplate collectors' libraries are 
strange enough. Some time ago there was sold in Bos- 
ton the Ex Libris library of one of the older American 
collectors, a collection of Bookplate books which was 
singularly complete in all the ramifications of Ex Libris 
publications. In comparison with this may be men- 
tioned the library possessed by the late General Adolpho 
Loureiro of Lisbon, a collection which my intimacy with 
the General during his later years, permitted me to pur- 
chase en bloc. This library was full of out-of-the-way 
pamphlets and brochures of which the average Book- 
plate collector has never heard; but with the exception 
of Poulet-Malassis and a few of the older writers, there 
was not a "standard" Bookplate book in the lot. Yet 

404 



BOOKPLATE LITERATURE 



General Loureiro had formed a wonderful collection of 
plates from almost every country in the world, and I 
have letters from him in which he mentions authors, col- 
lectors and artists from Iwask and Franks to Willi 
Geiger. 

Perhaps the collector will ask what books will be 
of most value to him in looking up the plates in his col- 
lection. For this purpose, better even than the aforesaid 
standard works, are the check lists of plates of various 
countries. The best of these are. Allen (America), Lin- 
nig (Belgium), Gagnon (Canada), Franks Catalogue 
(England), Wamecke (Germany), Van Oyen and Ver- 
ster (Holland), Magyar Iparmuveszeti Museum Cata- 
logue (Hungary), Bertarelli and Gelli (Italy), Leon 
(Mexico), Wittgy (Poland), Loureiro and Martha (Por- 
tugal), Iwask (Russian), Miquel y Planas (Spain), Car- 
lander and the Stockholm Nordiska Museet Catalogue 
(Sweden), Oliver (the West Indies) and Gerster (Switz- 
erland ) . It should be noted that these books can be used 
without any knowledge of the various languages. Look- 
ing up a few words in a dictionary of the language in 
question will make most of the descriptions perfectly 
clear ; and happily enough the worst of the lot, the Polish 
and Russian, have almost as many reproductions as de- 
scriptions, the former having 411 plates to 348 pages. 
Unfortunately a collector who wishes to specialize in 
French Bookplates will have to have a larger library, 
for there are over twenty-five lists published on the plates 
of the various localities of France; and some of them, 
such as Bouland's "Liste Sommaire pour servir a Tetude 
des Ex Libris Lorrains," which is in an edition limited 
to twenty copies, are very hard to procure. 

It is too bad that we cannot have more of such local 
volumes in the United States. The early American plates 

405 



SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES 



are listed under their respective states in the index to 
Allen, and R. C. Lichtenstein also did something along 
this line. But we ought to have books dealing with the 
Bookplates of many more of our states, for there surely 
ought to be enough state pride to bring forth volumes 
following the lead of Miss White and Mr. Wyer with their 
interesting books on Indiana and Iowa Bookplates. 

The number of volumes on local French Ex Libris 
brings to mind the fact that in regard to Bookplate pub- 
lications France leads the world, followed in order by the 
United States, England and Germany. The list of coun- 
tries with the number of their Bookplate publications 
is as follows: France (138), United States (127), Eng- 
land (111), Germany (80), Italy (23). Austria (17), 
Belgium (12), Portugal (10), Switzerland (10), Sweden 
(7), Spain (7), Holland (6), Russia (6), Denmark (5), 
Poland (5), Hungary (3), Canada (2), Bohemia (2), 
Mexico (1) and Australia (1). 

In speaking of the value of Bookplate books to col- 
lectors, one must not forget the many volumes on Ex 
Libris "specialties." For the collector of the Bookplates 
of physicians there are the volumes by Andre, Blanchard, 
Eugene Olivier and Curtin ; for Masonic plates those by 
Day, Pope and Quenaidit. Certain phases of the plates 
for ecclesiastics are treated by Koch, Pasquinelli, Groiig 
(Nemethy), and Ingold; Ex Libris for children by Mrs. 
Dixson, and Messrs. Stone and Teall; and the volumes 
by Fearing, Fowler and Pope are about the Bookplates 
called "angling," "Lincolniana" and "theatrical." Music 
has a mixed assortment of Fickert's "Beethoven-Ex 
Libris," Pasquinelli's "Ex-Musicis" and Verster's "XL 
Muzikale Bockmerkenmet." There is even a volume by 
Wytopil on "Ex Libris mit Bienen und Bienenkorben." 



406 



BOOKPLATE LITERATURE 



While the number of items in the following list, in 
round numbers six hundred and twenty-five, does not 
seem especially large, yet it is rather surprising when 
one remembers that about 95% of them have been pub- 
Hshed since 1890. Since this date there has appeared an 
average of eighteen a year. Before 1890 there were very 
few Bookplate books published, from 1870 to 1890 only 
twenty-eight, but during the Nineties there was an in- 
crease, sixteen being issued in 1893, and after 1900 the 
average rises to twenty-three, the high and low years 
being 1903 and 1904 with thirty and twelve respectively. 

It is interesting to see the growth of Bookplate lit- 
erature corresponding to the rise in collecting interest. 
The first article actually on Bookplates of which I have 
record is that in "The Gentleman's Magazine" of London, 
for 1822 (Part II), entitled "Remarks on the Invention 
of Bookplates." Then in 1836, in the annual report of 
the Oxford Archaeological & Heraldic Society, appeared 
the well-known paper by the Reverend Daniel Parsons, 
entitled "On Book-Plates." From 1853 to 1865 Heinrich 
Lempertz published the parts of his "Bilder-Hefte zur 
Geschichte des Bucherhandels," which contains descrip- 
tions and reproductions of over twenty early German Ex 
Libris. In 1862 Monsieur Beaupre mentions many an 
"armorial de la bibliotheque" in his valuable "Notice sur 
quelques Graveurs Nanceines," and in 1867 "The Heraldic 
Journal" of Boston, had an article on "The Harris Col- 
lection of Book-Plates." 

But the honor of beginning the publication of real 
Ex Libris hooks, must be given, like many another honor 
in the Bookplate world, to France, for in 1874 Monsieur 
Paul Emmanuel Auguste Poulet-Malassis published his 
"Les Ex Libris Frangais." This example from France 
perhaps spurred on John Byrne Leicester Warren. Lord

de Tabley, for in 1880 appeared his "Guide to the Study 
of Book-Plates." The work thus begun was well carried 
on and during the Eighties there were volumes by Chan- 
teau, Contades and Longperier-Grimoard in France and 
by Lichtenstein in America. 

I have heard several collectors say that to keep their 
mounted plates arranged and accessible, and at the same 
time in not too unwieldy or unsightly cases, is an impos- 
sibility. To my mind there is a very pleasant, easy and 
convenient way of keeping Bookplates. It is to use 
them for extra-illustrating, or as it is called in the book 
trade "extending," Bookplate books. A volume on her- 
aldry is usually in every Ex Libris collector's library; 
what is more easy than to mount a number of the all too 
common heraldic Bookplates, which so enlarge our col- 
lections, and use them to illustrate the various heraldic 
tinctures, emblems and what-not, by binding the mounted 
plates in the text book of heraldry ? For those who scorn 
such lowly game as a book on heraldry, there is the 
Franks Catalogue which offers a broader field. A per- 
feet collection of the plates by Spenceley or French is 
practically impossible to get; but a hundred or so plates 
by each of these artists, if carefully mounted on medium 
heavy hand-made paper and bound in as extra-illustra- 
tions, will add greatly to the beauty of the volumes by 
La Rose and Brainerd. Almost every collector has some 
Bookplates specialty, even if only plates "mit Bienen und 
Bienenkorben," and he can usually find at least one vol- 
ume of Ex Libris literature dealing with his specialty 
which he may extend. 

So it goes, and diflferent collectors will look on Book- 
plate books with different eyes and with diflferent inter- 
ests; but as the circus "barkers" say, "there is interest 

408 



BOOKPLATE LITERATURE 



for each and all," and every collector will have a few Ex 
Libris volumes on his shelves, even if he has no interest 
in "limited" editions or out-of-the-way pamphlets. 

It remains to say a word in regard to the bibli- 
ography which follows. Up to date it is the most com- 
plete ever published, and while not descriptive in any 
sense, it will, I hope, be found of value to collectors. To 
all collectors who have interest enough in Bookplate lit- 
erature to go through this bibliography thoroughly and 
check up the various items, I shall be extremely grateful, 
especially if such interested ones will be kind enough to 
call to my attention any corrections or additions which 
should be made to the list. W. P.

REV. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BREWER 

Rector St. Matthew's Military School, Burlingame, California 

This beautiful plate is listed as number 228, 1903, in the Edwin 
Davis French Memorial. An enthusiastic admirer of Mr. French's 
work offers this example and urgently insists, at the last moment, 
that it be added, even though out of place.

GEORGE WASHINGTON 

This old Chippendale plate has been shown in many bookplate 
publications. Notwithstanding this fact the compiler of this col- 
lection has been urfi^ed to add it here, on account of both its his- 
toric interest and the prominent part taken by its owner in the 
establishment of institutions of learning. 

The Washinffton creat, used on Washington bookplates for 
several generations, furnished the basis for designinfr th« "Stars 
and S'ripes" and our national coat of arms.
