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

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

ant Librarian, at Harvard; Mr. Dean P. Lock-
wood, Acting Librarian, and Miss Clara T. Hill,

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.

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

SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES

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

A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES

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

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

A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES

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

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

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

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

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

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,
Ye Lorde will saye, then go to helle.

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.

A DEFENSE OF BOOKPLATES

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

THIS BOOK

Belongs to
John Doe
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

Diminish learning's store
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).

SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES

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:

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

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

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-

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

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."

The "Detur" plate was the first one engraved for Harvard Col-

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

(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."

This bookplate, desifrned and engrraved by Edwin Davis French
in 1904, marks the major part of the collection of nearly 19,000
volumes on German History. The nucleus of this collection was
the von Maurer Library, presented by Professor A. C. Coolidf^ in
1903, and augmented by many additions, such as the Pfister li-
brary, bought in Munich in 1906. and donations by the German
Government and Prussian and other local governments of sets of
the reports of the Imperial and local Diets.

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

Charles Eliot Norton, the well-known Dante scholar and
authority on art, was professor of the history of art at Harvard
from 1875 to 1898. Hig books, which, in addition to beinit intrin-
sically valuable, were highly prized from the associations which
clung to them, came to the Harvard Library partly through pur-
chase by a eroup of friends and partly by gift and bequest. —
Theodore W. Koch, Harvard, '9S.

The income of a memorial fund is spent for books of similar
character, and in these the above form of the plate is used.

This is a relief plate reproduced by photography from a pen

than it has been hitherto in the designing of bookplates. — William

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.

princes and officials, subscriptions amounting to 1,924 ticala, while
Europeans residing in Bangkok made up a further sum of 1,565

testifying the admiration felt by the rulers, officers, and residents
of Siam for a son of Harvard who had rendered them efficient
and valued service, and showing their good-will to the college from
which he came, touches the imagination and gives a broader out-
look and a better confidence in the wide expansion of international
good-will.

CLASSICAL SEMINARY

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

Princeton, New Jersey

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-
olates of Princeton and Priticetonians.

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

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.

The heraldry is: the Crest, the emblem of the Blessed Virgin
as patron saint. The dexter shield contains the arms of the old
Embroiderers Guild. The sinister shield contains the arms of
learned societies to which Mrs. Rath-Merrill belongrs. The plate
is surmounted by the Mystic Roae. The Tree "iKdrasel" or tree of
knowledge, with its three roots and sleeping serpent suggests the
power of knowledge over ignorance.

Mrs. Rath-Merrill has taken an important part in the restora-

including even the signature, "N. Hurd, Sculp."

a "remargue" on the proofs, a little conceit afterward copied by

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

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

407

SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES

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.

THE PLAYERS CLUB
New York City
The finest library devoted excluBively to works on the Stage
IB that of the Players Club, in the old Edwin Booth house in
Gramercy Park, New York. The beautiful Hymbolic figure plate
drown by Howard Pyle and engraved by E. D. French, in 1894, is
in harmony with the collection. — Thomas E. Fhench, ProfMsitr
of Enffineering Drawing, Ohio State University.

SOME AMERICAN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES

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.

SOME AM ERIC AN COLLEGE BOOKPLATES

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.
