A bookplate, a miniature work of art, serves as a metaphorical portrait of a collector or library, showcasing the designer's personal graphic style and the relationship between the artist and patron. Renowned collectors such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Elkins Widener, J.P. Morgan, and Paul Mellon come to life through the bookplates created by celebrated artists like Dorothy Sturgis Harding, Eric Gill, Walter Crane, Rudolph Koch, and Rockwell Kent. Grolier Club Bookplates, Past & Present is a comprehensive compilation of both book collectors and the graphic artists who have personalized their ex-libris over the past 130 years, spanning from the late 19th century to the present day. This meticulously researched and extensively annotated book offers a visual feast for bibliophiles and delves into the significance and legacy of bookplates as cultural indicators in the history of books.
