Her Love of Knowledge Bookplate Lend your books with confidence by using beautiful bookplates. What are bookplates, you ask? (And is it all right to put stickers in your books?!) The bookplate, also known as ex-librīs (Latin for “from the books (or library)”), is a small decorative label adhered into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. It’s history can be traced back centuries! Bookplates are an important part of the history of books, first appearing in the 1500s by barons and nobles to protect personal property from theft. They are a great (and fun!) way to mark your personal library. This is a set of four self-adhesive bookplates featuring my original artwork, printed on acid-free matte paper with archival inks. There is a blank area to pen your name in with ink. Please let the ink dry before placing in your book! Bookplates are generally placed on the inside of the cover or on the first blank page in the book, about mid-way down the page. DETAILS: -Set of four of the same design -4.5×3.5 inches -matte sticker paper for ease of writing

So after about 3-4 months of being in this crazy game of bookplate collecting I have learned a two things about my tastes: #1- Although the copperplate engravings are delicate, beautiful and full of gorgeous details it is the heavier, chunkier woodblock cuts that I most admire. A lot of this probably has to do with my love of Japanese woodblock prints. #2- J.J. Lankes, in my opinion, is certainly one of the finest American woodblock cut artists around. His sense of nature and his "salt of the Earth" mentality reverberates throughout his art (not just in his bookplates). So, that being said, I am aggressively seeking any and all J.J. Lankes plates that I can lay my hands on! As of now I have just seven pieces but these are some mighty fine pieces as you can see below (posted in order as found in the 1937 booklet A Descriptive Checklist of the Woodcut Bookplates of J.J. Lankes by Mr. Burl N. Osburn (Millersville, PA: The Serif Press). David Hand, # 19 (1922) Julius J. Lankes, #21 (1922) Sarah Heyliger Church, #31 (1923) Robert Frost, #35 (1923) Gertrude Morgan Hawley, #62 (1930) Touchstone, #79 (1934) Indianapolis Public Library, not listed in Osburn catalog so it must have been produced after 1937  With many thanks to the grandson of Mr. Burl Osburn I do have a scanned copy of the checklist from 1937. I would happy to share this with any fellow collector who is interested in the works of Lankes as cataloged through 1937. Just email me at [email protected] And don't forget to contact me if you have any Lankes plates available fro trade or sale! Have a good evening!

 Paper Info: 
 Oiseaux Vintage Bookplates are printed on thick (48 lb.) bright, high-quality paper with gorgeous, vivid inks for superior color and image reproduction. They come ready for the adhesive of your choice; we like to recommend acid-free glue sticks for our bookplates: they are inexpensive, easy-to-use, and safe with all papers. You can find acid-free glue sticks online and in most drug stores or supermarkets; some popular brands are Avery, OfficeWorks, Elmer's and Uhu; most cost about a dollar. Occasionally I get asked if I print on adhesive paper, but because the print quality on even the best adhesive papers pales in comparison to the paper I use, I stick with the very good stuff. What is a bookplate? A bookplate is a name label that goes inside of a book, notebook, or journal. The use of bookplates dates back to a time when books were rare and precious things; a bookplate was a way to leave your name inside of a treasure. Today, bookplates have enjoyed a comeback as a sweet way to celebrate a new baby. For children, bookplates inspire a love of reading and a pride in ownership. What's not to love? Our designs come from my collection of vintage books from the 1920's, most of which belonged to my grandparents. I remember many of the books from when I was a child, and I am so happy to bring these gorgeous illustrations to life again! Creating each design is often a lot of work: since old books are usually well-loved, there can be quite a bit of repairing to do. Each vintage illustration is carefully scanned, cleaned, and brightened up... then sometimes completely redesigned to fit a bookplate format. The end product is what you see in my shop: beautiful vintage designs, waiting for your books!
