vintage bookplate

A little more from the vintage paper fair:


This bookplate is from 1925. It's a lovely block print mounted on a thick matte paper. It struck me as being both dark and beautiful.

    by the way, thanks for your congrats...it means a lot to me, especially coming from a writer like yourself!
