• Summary:Summary: A bookplate - or 'Ex Libris' (Latin, 'from the books of') - is a small print for pasting inside the cover of a book to express personal ownership. This book showcases bookplates drawn from the rich collections of the British Museum, including works created by some of the most talented artists of their day, such as Albrecht Dürer, Edward Burne-Jones, Aubrey Beardsley and Eric Gill. Equally it shows how the content of bookplates has evolved over the years to feature a vast range of allegory and symbolism. Endlessly diverse, surprising and touching, this is a book that will be treasured by art-lovers and book-lovers alike.
