Edward Penfield, his book

[between ca. 1900 and 1925]

1 print : woodcut, two colors  ; bookplate 7.5 x 7.6 cm.

Notes: Exhibit caption (2014): Artist Edward Penfield carved this elegant bookplate for himself during the heyday of the medium. Bookplates, were not only pasted into books, they were actively collected and traded. Ruthven Deane, a lawyer by trade, and bird watcher and bookplate collector by hobby, assembled a fine collection of approximately 15,000 plates. That, in combination with plates donated by the American Society for Bookplate Collectors and Designers, still an active organization, makes the Library a destination for researching and enjoying these small prints. DLC Title devised by Library staff. Bookplate shows a cat looking at an open book. Forms part of the Ruthven Deane Bookplate Collection.
