-AMERICAN DESIGNERS _of_ BOOK-PLATES: WM. EDGAR FISHER
-
-By W. G. BOWDOIN
-
-
-The book-plate designers of to-day are legion because they are many.
-Almost every one who can draw, and many who cannot, have ventured into
-the field of book-plate designing; and the result has been that many
-of the book-plates that are current have little to commend them to
-critical observers. The present increasing interest in these little
-bits of the graver's art has greatly encouraged the production of
-them, and new ones arise daily. It is desirable, therefore, if we are
-to have book-plates at all, that they shall be as artistic as may be;
-and it is important, from an art standpoint, to all those who are
-about to adopt the use of these marks of ownership that they shall
-have, as they may have, the artistic flavor about them.
-

- Edgar Fisher]
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Winifred Knight.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-Most of our leading designers have hitherto been grouped in the
-eastern section of our country, or at least not much further west than
-Chicago. Some few designs, it is true, have been produced in
-California, but for the most part the book-plates of note have been
-marked with an eastern geographical origin.
-
-In William Edgar Fisher we have a designer who has strikingly departed
-from geographical conditions of book-plate designing heretofore
-prevailing, and in faraway Fargo, North Dakota, has set up his studio
-from whence have come designs that are fresh, original and very
-pleasing. Mr. Fisher loves to work in a pictorial field. He makes a
-plate that tells a story, and in his best plates there is artfully
-placed something bookish that harmonizes with the design-form
-selected; and, because of art coherence and harmony in design that go
-hand in hand, his plates are more than satisfactory. The general
-eastern notion in regard to North Dakota is that nothing artistic can
-come out of the State, but the work done there by Mr. Fisher quickly
-dispels such an idea. The plates he has drawn are acknowledged as
-highly meritorious by the best American masters of book-plate
-designing. In all the plates from the hand of this artist that are
-here grouped, and which may be regarded as quite typical of him, there
-are only two that do not contain a book as a detail somewhere in the
-finished plate.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Maie Bruce Douglas. Book-plate of Mary
- N. Lewis.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-One of the exceptions is the plate of the Studio Club that gains
-infinitely by the omission of a book in the plate as produced. The
-grouping of the five observers (symbolic of the members of the Studio
-Club) around the feminine portrait is most charming, and to the writer
-it appears one of the happiest of recent productions in appropriate
-book-plates.
-
-Mr. Fisher's feminine figures that he introduces into many of his
-plates are likewise exceedingly effective. This is particularly the
-case when to the charms of femininity he has added those of symbolism,
-as in the case of the plate for Miss Winifred Knight, in which the
-graceful female masker appears at the shrine of the idealized god Pan,
-who writes, it may be something oracular, in her proffered album. The
-figure is gracefully posed and the lines of the arms and neck are
-marked by pleasant curves.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of John Charles Gage. Book-plate of
- Elizabeth Allen. Book-plate of Leila H. Cole. Book-plate of
- Elizabeth Langdon.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-In the plate of Maie Bruce Douglas, Mr. Fisher may have been
-influenced by Hans Christian Andersen. At any rate, whether or not
-this is so, he has neatly and most effectively grouped the old-time
-jester with his cap and bells, the pointed shoes from whence came our
-modern samples, and the maiden with the quaintness of head-dress and
-drapery, that at least suggests the fairy and the incidental sacred
-stork, making this plate with its shelf of books and the panel of
-repeated heraldic shields very attractive even to the chance observer.
-
-In the plates for the Misses Mary N. Lewis, Elizabeth Langdon, Leila
-H. Cole and Elizabeth Allen there are several diverse methods shown in
-which convention has been pleasingly utilized. The vine and tree forms
-that are motifs are very effective, and in all of these we see
-suggestions of treatment similar to that which stands out perhaps a
-little more pronouncedly in the plate of Miss Douglas. Costume
-quaintness, charm of pose, graceful outline, the tendency toward
-lecturn detail and delicacy of touch, are in each instance here seen
-to be characteristic of the artist.
-
-The plate of John Charles Gage has in it the atmosphere of the
-monastery. Two friars are busy with a folio manuscript that has been
-beautifully illuminated. The one reads the lessons for the day from
-the book of hours. The other has a pleasing bit of gossip that he is
-telling to his brother friar as he reads, and the reader hears with
-eagerness with his ears while he reads without absorption with his
-eyes.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Samuel H. Hudson. Book-plate of Silvanus
- Macy Jr.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-Into the plate of Samuel H. Hudson the atmosphere of the monastery is
-also introduced. The cordelier sits absorbedly reading his matins.
-Through the open window of the monkish cell is seen the morning
-medieval landscape whose charms exercise no influence upon the
-solitary recluse, solitary save for the monkey who plays sad havoc
-with the vellum volume that lies upon the cell floor and the
-destruction of which the Franciscan is too absorbed to notice. The
-monkey as a foil for the ascetic in this plate shows that Mr. Fisher
-has a strong appreciation of the most delicate humor, which here crops
-out most delightfully. The border makes the plate a trifle heavy, but
-this can easily be excused because of the charm of the plate
-otherwise.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Stanley Shepard.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-The dog is given a prominent place in the plate of Miss Lula Thomas
-Wear. He dominates even the books, and it may be that the owner
-prefers her dachshund to her library, although it is evident that her
-books have some place in her esteem.
-
-The design on the plate of Stanley Shepard suggests a derivation from
-an old print. The caravel rides upon the waves according to the
-conception of the old-time engravers. The anchor, the sword fish of
-the deep sea, and the sea-stars all suggest the ocean voyager who has
-deep down in his heart a love of books.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Edna B. Stockhouse.} By Wm. Edgar
- Fisher]
-
-In contrast with the plate of Mr. Shepard's appears that bearing the
-name of Silvanus Macy, Jr. The love of hunting stands out right boldly
-here, and in the fox hunt does Mr. Macy undoubtedly revel. He could
-not have such a book-plate otherwise, and live with it every day, let
-it be in all his books and have it stand for him as it does, unless it
-was fairly representative of the man's personality. That is what makes
-a book-plate so eminently interesting, aside from the art work put
-upon it. Books appeal to all sorts and conditions of men, as the work
-of Mr. Fisher's here grouped clearly indicates.
-
-The plate from the books of Miss Edna B. Stockhouse is a trifle
-shadowy in motif notwithstanding which there can be no doubt the owner
-loves books. The face in the book-plate reads. There is also a love of
-the beautiful in ceramics indicated as an incident in the plate. No
-wonder the head wears an aureole.
-
-The "Bi Lauda" plate is that of a secret society at Wellsville,
-N. Y., and we, therefore, forgive if we cannot forget its poverty of
-bookish design.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Wm. Edgar Fisher.} By Wm. Edgar Fisher]
-
-In the personal plate of the designer, of all those here reproduced,
-we catch glimpses of the artist's own personality. We see him as a
-book-lover and something of his inspiration is spread out before us.
-He goes reading along, carrying reserve volumes in case the one that
-engages his attention in the portraiture is happily finished. Mr.
-Fisher has been producing book-plates only since 1898, since which
-time he has to his credit some forty examples of work in this field.
-He is perhaps happiest in his rendition of the plate pictorial, and he
-has sometimes tinted his plates most charmingly. Mr. Fisher prepared
-for Cornell at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. At Cornell he studied
-architecture for two years, with especial attention to drawing. He
-also studied, for six months, at the Art Institute, Chicago, Ill.,
-whither he went from Cornell. He has been largely self-taught in the
-matter of designing, but his work indicates that his teacher was a
-good one. He has privately but carefully studied the work of the best
-modern pen-and-ink draughtsmen, and from this he has formed his
-personal style. The methods and craftsmanship of reproduction were the
-subject of special study on his part while he was with one of the
-large Chicago engraving houses. Anything that comes from his hand will
-be sure of the most kindly reception, so long as his work is

-THE ARTISTIC BOOK-PLATE
-
-By TEMPLE SCOTT
-
-
-A book-plate, in its simplest expression, is a printed indication of
-the ownership of a book. It may take the form of the unadorned
-visiting card, or it may be embellished with heraldic and other
-designs explanatory of the owner's name, ancestry, tastes, or
-predilections. Primarily, however, it is intended to fix ownership.
-How far it satisfactorily serves its purpose, is, perhaps, of little
-moment to the average book-collector; for the book-plate has emerged
-from the stage of practical utility and become a thing in itself, so
-to speak. It has taken its place beside the many _articles de vertu_
-which are godsends to the weary of brain and heart, inasmuch as they
-become the objects of a passion so delightful in its experience, as to
-make us forget the little trials and worries of life that make
-pessimists of us in this "bleak Aceldama of sorrow." Nay, they may
-even become the one sun, shining and irradiating for us all the dark
-places of our wanderings, and cheer us with the hopes for newer and
-finer acquisitions than we already have.
-
-When, however, we come to a consideration of the _artistic_
-book-plate, we enter upon a new field of enquiry entirely. It
-indicates that a simple usage of a necessary and harmless convention
-has developed into a complex expression--an expression not merely of
-the individual to whom the book belongs, but also of the artist whose
-business it is to give pictorial form to the desires and wishes and
-tastes of his patron.
-
-From the crude, if sufficient, paste-board stuck on the end-paper, to
-the heraldic display, was, surely, no very far cry. In the countries
-of the Old World, where pride of ancestry touches the worthy and
-unworthy alike, it was to be expected that so valuable an opportunity
-for flaunting the deeds of "derring do" of one's forefathers as a sign
-of one's own distinction, such as the book-plate offers, was certainly
-not to be neglected. So we find that the coats of arms which once
-served as inspirations, and which once had a genuine meaning to their
-owners and retainers, now do service in the more peaceful realms of
-Bookland. And, assuredly, there are certain books in a library, which
-are more worthily acknowledged after this ancient and martial fashion.
-We cannot but believe that a Froissart from the press of Caxton or
-Wynkyn de Worde, would be handled with more reverence if one saw on
-the verso of its front cover a glorious display of the arcana of
-heraldry, in all its magnificence of mysterious meaning. This feeling
-would also be aroused in turning the leaves of, say, Philippe le
-Noir's edition of the "Gesta Romanorum" (1532), or of Hayton's "Lytell
-Cronycle" from the shop of Richard Pynson, or of Mandeville's
-"Voyages and Travailles," issued by T. Snodham in 1625, or of Pliny's
-"Historia Naturalis" from the Venetian press of Nic. Jenson in 1472,
-or of Rastell's "Pastyme of People," "emprynted in Chepesyde at the
-Sygne of the Mermayd" in 1529. To these and their like a book-plate of
-heraldic story comes as a fitting and graceful complement.
-
-But the average mortal of this work-a-day world and age has not the
-means wherewith to acquire such treasures of the bibliophile. Nor,
-perhaps, has he the necessary pedigree with which to adorn them, if
-acquired; though on this latter consideration, we suspect that the
-Herald's College in the purlieus of Doctors' Commons, and the more
-amenable, though not less expensive Tiffany on this side of the
-Atlantic, would, no doubt, prove excellent aids to a full
-satisfaction.
-
-But we are not here dealing with the pomp and glorious circumstance of
-Heraldry. In dealing with the artistic book-plate, we are considering
-a matter which concerns itself not with past stories or past
-individuals, but with the present tale and the particular living
-personage who has the laudable and humble ambition to distinguish his
-copy of a book from his friend's copy of the same book. A taste in
-books may be easily whitewashed, but a taste in a book-plate flares
-its owner's heart right into the eyes of the demurest damsel or the
-simplest swain. It may be that our collection is but a series of
-Tauchnitz editions carefully garnered on a European tour, or a handful
-or two of Bohn's Library, accumulated from our more studious days, or
-a treatise on golf, chess, gardening and photography, or a history of
-the state or town in which we live--it matters little what--these are
-the treasures we most prize, and we wish to hold them. Now, how best
-shall the collector mark them as his own?
-
-He writes his name on the title-page. Ugh! What a vandal's act! The
-man who could so disfigure a book deserves to have it taken from him,
-and his name obliterated. He who could find it in his heart to write
-on title-pages could surely commit a murder. We'd much rather he
-turned a leaf down to mark the place where he had left off in his
-reading; though to do that is bad enough, in all conscience. Nor does
-he save his soul by writing on the fly-title, or even end-paper.
-Moreover, this will not save his book either. A visiting card can
-easily be taken out--it looks too formal, nondescript, meaningless,
-common, to inspire any respect in a would-be thief. But an artistic
-book-plate! Ah! that's another thing altogether.
-
-An artistic book-plate is the expression in decorative illustration of
-the proprietor's tastes, made by an artist who has sympathetically
-realized the feeling intended. It should objectify one, and only one,
-salient characteristic, either of temperament, habit, disposition, or
-pleasure, of its owner. If it does less, it is not individual; if it
-does more, it is not satisfying.
-
-Now each one of us has some characteristic trait that is not common to
-us all--then let that be the aim of the artist to embody in decorative
-form. And let that embodiment be simple and direct--the simpler and
-more direct it is, the more will it appear; and the more beautiful it
-is the more will it soften the kleptomaniacal tendencies of the
-ghoulish book-hunter. For nothing touches him so nearly to the finer
-impulses of nature than the contemplation of beauty; and he would be
-less than human did he fail to respond. We would even go to the length
-of giving as an admirable test of the book-plate artist's powers, the
-lending of a book (whose loss would give no qualms) containing the
-plate. If it come not back, there's something the matter with your
-plate; or, you can libel your friend as a beast of low degree, which
-suggests a good way of finding out your friend's true character. But
-then, there's no limit to the powers of a beautiful book-plate.
-
-Now there are a great many coy people who don't care to wear their
-hearts on their sleeves; these would naturally feel indisposed to post
-themselves thus before the public eye, be the book-plate never so
-beautiful. To these we would say: Give us what you prize best--your
-home, your wife, your sweetheart, your motto (though that's giving
-yourself away too), your baby, anything that is truly yours. (Babies
-are quite _à propos_, and should be characteristic, though it does not
-always follow. Some babies have a habit of taking after quite other
-people.) The idea is, to embody something individual, something
-special and particular.
-
-If he can afford a large library, or is a collector of the works of
-one or two authors, there's a way out of the difficulty for the coy
-person, by having the book-plate represent the characteristic of the
-author and have his name as an addition. That may be taking a
-liberty--but authors are accustomed to that; and, besides, you are
-appreciating them, and that should exorcise the spirit of an indignant
-"classic" from the four walls of your library. Have the original of
-the design framed on the wall; it may save you a lot of explanation
-should the spook even get "mad." You can always lay the blame on the
-artist. Of course, this means a book-plate for each author; but as
-book-plates are not, after all, such very expensive luxuries, this
-consideration need be a matter of but small moment.
-
-Yet another idea is to have an artistic treatment of a representation
-of your library, your "den." That sounds very inviting and certainly
-can hurt no one's feelings. If you don't happen to possess a special
-apartment, give an apartment such as you would like to possess. Or
-show your favorite chair, or nook, or greenwood tree, or running
-brook, or garden plot. There are thousands of ways in which to fashion
-a book-plate, and an artistic book-plate, too. We thus can see what an
-advance the modern artistic book-plate is on the old style article--so
-formal, so characterless, so inchoate and so amorphous.
-
-Indeed the artistic book-plate is a genuine inspiration, or it may be
-made so. How charming, or delight-giving, or valuable, or intoxicating
-it is, depends largely on the artist. But it also depends on the
-individual who desires it. It should be planned with care and executed
-with feeling. It should be like no other book-plate in the sense that
-it possesses some _flavor_ that is private and personal. It should be
-as much an indication of the owner's taste as is his library--and no
-man can hide his nature from the friend who has had access to that.
-There are many things a book-plate should not be--but these may be
-summed up in the advice--it should not be a mask. You may order your
-books by the hundredweight from your bookseller, but that won't stand
-you in any stead when your friend handles them and turns to you for a
-criticism, or an opinion. You may also commission your artist for a
-book-plate; but you are in a worse plight if you fail in the more
-direct explanation you will be required to make to the insistent
-inquiries as to its meaning or appositeness. No! Be it ever so humble,
-let it be yours. It may be a poor thing, but it is your own; but it
-may be also a very rich thing, and your own also.

-BOOK-PLATES AND THE NUDE
-
-By WILBUR MACEY STONE
-
-
- [Illustration: Book-Plate of Mr. Carl Schur]
-
-Lovers of the beautiful have been burdened with endless talk and
-writing and many quarrels on the nude in art, and now I have the
-temerity to open a new field of battle and throw down the gauntlet for
-strife. The Eternal Feminine is a prominent factor in the picture
-book-plates of the day, and she is showing some tendencies to appear
-minus her apparel. Question: is it wise and in good taste?
-
-Of course, to start with, I am quite free to admit that good taste is
-a movable feast and is much influenced by the point of view. Your
-taste is good if it agrees with mine; otherwise it is bad taste or no
-taste. At any rate, there are a few things we can agree upon, I think.
-For instance, that there is a wide distinction between the nude and
-the naked. Also, that the human form divine is most beautiful, but
-that to remain most beautiful it must deviate not one jot or tittle
-from the divine, for any deviation is to tend to the earthy and gross,
-which is vulgar and--bad taste. We can also agree, I think, that
-partially draped figures can be, and often are, sensual and repulsive
-beyond the frankly nude, and this without the direct intent or
-knowledge of the artist.
-
- "A hair perhaps divides the false and true,
- Yes; and a single slip were the clue--"
-
-But above all things a nude figure should never carry the idea of a
-consciousness of its nudity! Also, clothing or drapery used simply to
-hide portions of the figure is execrable and more suggestive than any
-entire absence of clothing; while to add, as I have seen done, a hat
-and French-heeled shoes to a nude figure is abominable beyond
-condemnation.
-
-But all this is of broad application and is sawing upon the same old
-and frayed strings. Abstractly, a beautiful nude is as beautiful on a
-book-plate as in a portfolio or in a frame, and some of the most
-beautiful book-plates I have ever seen have been nudes. Nevertheless,
-to me the nude seems out of place and in questionable taste on a
-book-plate; the simple matter of repetition is enough to condemn it.
-
-The partially draped figures by R. Anning Bell are chaste and
-beautiful, and one never thinks of them other than as clothed; so they
-can hardly be considered in this discussion. Many of the book-plates
-by Henry Ospovat contain partly draped figures which are always
-beautifully drawn, pure and a constant delight. But really, I think it
-would jar me to meet even an angel--the same one, mind you--in each of
-a thousand volumes. Emil Orlak, in Austria, has made some fairly
-pleasing nudes, but they lack that purity of conception without which
-they are common. Armand Rassenfosse, of Belgium, has etched a number
-of dainty, faultlessly drawn and really most beautiful nudes, but many
-of them have been ruined by the needless addition of shoes and fancy
-head-dresses. Pal de Mont, of Antwerp, has a plate by Edmond van Oppel
-which he probably thinks a work of art, but which is surely the height
-of vulgarity; while in "Composite Book-Plates" is a design by Theodore
-Simson containing a large figure of a nude woman with her hair done in
-a pug, seated in a grove amid dandelions and poppies, and diligently
-reading a book. The figure is treated in broad outline, which is ill
-adapted to the subject, and it lacks that refinement without which
-nothing is beautiful. She is absolutely at variance with her
-environment, and the whole is a _tour de force_ quite unforgivable.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Robert H. Smith.} By H. Nelson]
-
-Miss Labouchere, in her volume on ladies' plates, shows a rather
-amusing pair of designs for Miss Nellie Heaton. These plates both bear
-the legend, "Gather ye roses while ye may." In the first, the
-designer, Mrs. Baker, has a fair creature in all the glory of entire
-nudity plucking blossoms from a rose-vine. In the other, she used the
-same design throughout, but has fully clothed the figure. Evidently
-Miss Heaton protested.
-
-These designs by a woman call to mind the fact that among the
-book-plates of over one hundred and fifty women designers with which I
-am familiar, I know of but one other nude. This other is by Miss Mary
-Florence, and is of a large full-length angel entirely undraped.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Arthur Guthrie.} By H. Ospovat]
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of H. v. W.} By A. Rassenfosse]
-
-Fritz Erler, a German designer of much strength, has made a number of
-symbolic book-plates. All, I believe, have the feminine as motif, and
-in several the figures are nude. The design for Emil Gerhäuser is
-inoffensive and well-drawn, but surely is not beautiful, and lacks a
-good excuse for existence. In a generally pleasing decorative
-arrangement for Robert H. Smith, Harold Nelson, an English designer,
-shows a rather attenuated nude maiden looking with envy at a gorgeous
-peacock on the opposite side of the design; while the peacock in turn
-seems to say, "Why don't you grow some feathers?"
-
-We naturally expect to find well-drawn, if not always pleasing, nudes
-in the French school. Henry André, one of the best known French
-designers of book-plates, uses the nude quite freely in his work; in
-some instances pleasingly, but in one or two with marked vulgarity.
-Octave Uzanne has the most pleasing nude plate that I have ever seen.
-It is designed by Guérin, and represents a tortoise bearing the
-implements of the artist, and coaxed along by the hot torch of
-knowledge in the hand of a light-winged cupid. By Sherborn, the great,
-I have seen but one nude in a book-plate, and that a poor thing but
-innocuous, for Mr. Harris Fahnestock of New York. Mr. E. D. French has
-made but one nude that I have seen, that for Mr. E. H. Bierstadt; the
-design shows a nude shepherd boy piping to his flock. The plate Mr.
-French engraved for Mr. De Vinne, from the design by Geo. Fletcher
-Babb, has nude termini for bearers, and is elegant and beautiful, an
-ideal plate.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of John & Jessie Hoy.} By H. Ospovat]
-
-American artists have essayed the nude but little in book-plate
-design, perhaps through wisdom, perhaps through fear; but the fact
-remains that they have thereby avoided the perpetration of at least
-some crimes. Judging by the examples we have been able to cite, and
-they are representative, it would seem that the best advice we can
-give those tempted to use the undraped beautiful in their book-plates
-is--don't.

-THE ARCHITECT AS A BOOK-PLATE DESIGNER
-
-By WILLIS STEELL
-
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Frank Jean Pool.} By Thomas Tryon]
-
-Among the book-plate designers of the present day the architect may,
-if he choose, take a high place. He is one whose studies have led him
-through the paths of artistic training where his eye and hand have
-learned to see color and form and balance of parts, and while the
-usual media of his profession are wood, stone, terra cotta and iron,
-there are many by-paths through which he must travel to appreciate the
-value of his pencil lines upon the flat.
-
-No more delightful by-way than the book-plate route will open before
-him, hedged in as it is by purely artistic shrubbery and leading
-constantly to pretty and even beautiful designs in which the genius of
-architecture has played a great part. Moreover, all his preceding
-journey through the hard conventional country to which architecture at
-first seems limited, has equipped him thoroughly to give expression to
-his fancy. That the gift of imagination is among his endowments should
-be taken for granted, however, if the architect is to succeed in the
-line of drawing book-plates.
-
-Fancy and imagination being in his mental equipment the architect can
-"rest" his mind in no more delightful fashion than by giving them full
-scope in this gem-like art. His experience, his collections of
-drawings, the work of others of his craft which he has studied, all
-tend to render his fund of information large, and if he has the key to
-book-plate art, inexhaustible, since nothing comes amiss to the pen of
-one whose facile fancy can grasp a good motive and direct it to a
-purpose other than that originally intended.
-
- [Illustration: JAMES SEYMOUR TRYON
- By Thomas Tryon]
-
-In the early days of art the architect was not only a designer of
-buildings but was also a sculptor and sometimes a decorative painter.
-He was called upon by his patrons to design whatever was needed at the
-moment, and these men were "all-round" artists, the day of
-specialization and the speculator not having dawned.
-
-Buonarotti is an awesome name to call up, but this great painter,
-sculptor, architect and builder touched nothing that he did not adorn,
-and in many of the hundreds of crayon sketches and cartoons that he
-left behind him, the feeling of the book-plate artist is clear. Had
-Lorenzo the Magnificent wanted a book-plate for use in his library,
-the great Michael Angelo could have filled the want from his own
-notes, with very little of either suppression or expansion. It may
-seem strange to think of this Titan of art, the creator of the
-sweeping "Last Judgment" turning his pencil to the delicate lines, the
-imperceptible nuances demanded by a book-plate, yet it may be
-repeated, in his work may be found a myriad of suggestions for these
-gem-like products.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Annah M. Fellowes.} By Thomas Tryon]
-
-Buonarotti was not, however, first and last an architect. Painter and
-sculptor also, these sides of his artist soul would have been drawn on
-for the book-plate. Therefore the statement that not every architect
-can design so fanciful and dainty a work as a book-plate becomes a
-truism patent to everybody. The architect's profession calls for a
-two-fold nature, the one side tending toward that of the engineer with
-its eminently practical and very necessary tables of stress and
-strain, its mathematical calculations for loads and disposition of
-carrying walls, while the other side leans to a nice discernment of
-color and proportion. The laying out of vistas and the arrangement of
-surfaces and lines, so that the eye is aided in receiving the best
-impression from all points of view. Of this turn of mind is the one
-who can and does design book-plates. The very practical architect, if
-he wishes the glory, which is doubtful, has one of his draftsmen make
-the design and then signs the drawing and gets the glory. It would be
-amusing if such an one through some luck charm received constant
-application for such work. His draftsmen would change and his drawings
-be as dissimilar as the men who drew them. Possibly the signature
-would lead the long-suffering public to think him very versatile.
-
-It is not of this class of architect that we write. It is of him who
-is half painter or sculptor, and who loves his pen and pencil and
-delights in the personal expression of his ideals. He finds that his
-way of seeing things is more to his liking than any way of any other
-man. He sees the infinite beauty of nature and loves her shifting
-pictures in the clouds. Then too, he must have the ability to clearly
-comprehend the half-formed ideas of him whose plate he undertakes to
-draw. This is not always an easy matter. There are but few in the
-world who can formulate their ideas, much less invent a picture
-without first seeing it. Here the architect has, perhaps, an advantage
-over the purely imaginative artist, since the average man does not
-know the difference between the Classic period and the Gothic, the
-Napoleon era and the modern German renaissance.
-
-Of the architects who have obtained unquestioned recognition in this
-exquisite art, Thomas Tryon is among those whose work is especially
-prized. His adaptation of architectural forms to the confined space of
-the book-plate shows the work of a man who has command of his tools
-and knowledge, and despite the narrow confines of the field his work
-is not at all "cabined or cribbed." The illustrations accompanying
-this essay are taken rather at random from among Mr. Tryon's designs,
-but they will convey to those unfamiliar with his work, a fair idea of
-its scope and treatment. His first design was a plate for his father,
-an ornate armorial design, the name being set up in type at the base.
-The plate for Miss Annah M. Fellowes is quite elaborate. A long-haired
-and bewhiskered knight stands before us in a suit of rich armor, his
-right hand bearing his sword and helmet, and his left resting upon his
-shield. His helmet is surmounted by a pair of spreading wings. The
-design is backed by a rambling rose bush on which is hung the motto
-ribbon.
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of Loyall Farragut.} By Thomas Tryon]
-
- [Illustration: {Book-plate of George Elder Marcus.} By Thomas Tryon]
-
-Mr. Frank Pool is obviously a lover of the drama. In an oval window
-set in masonry, is a Roman gentleman, laurel crowned, reading from a
-large volume, while at the upper right and left sides are comedy and
-tragedy masks from which hang a gracefully festooned wreath. Palms,
-ribbon and name plate finish the design. For Mr. Farragut, the son of
-our old admiral, Mr. Tryon has made a very "salt water" arrangement of
-arms. The shield is surmounted by a quaint ship and the bearers are
-dolphins, which on one side encircle a trident and on the other a
-sword. The conventional acanthus leaves give body and decoration to
-the whole. Perhaps one of the most distinctively beautiful of Mr.
-Tryon's designs is the fleur-de-lis for Mr. Marcus. In this the artist
-has blended most delightfully the natural and the heraldic flower and
-has produced a gem of which one never tires. For his sister and her
-children Mr. Tryon has made a light and airy design, distinctively
-feminine and graceful. The main feature of the design is an ornate
-cypher of the letters S T. On the ribbon below the name is shown. This
-is changed to the names of Mrs. Stone's three daughters for their
-individual use. The plate reproduced here is that of one of Mrs.
-Stone's daughters. The design for "The Boys Club" is surmounted by the
-American eagle perched upon the globe, and the flag of our country is
-draped over the tablet bearing the lettering. This plate has been
-reproduced both by photo-process and copper plate.

-
-Of the three color plates reproduced the first was made for Mr. A. W.
-Brunner, and has for "piece de resistence" a very ingenious monogram
-set in an oval frame. For bearers there are two graceful palms and the
-keystone is surmounted by a pile of books and a classic student's
-lamp. The base of the design is relieved by a pleasing arrangement of
-acanthus leaves. The plate for Miss Cox is a seal-like design,
-dignified yet dainty, and would be entirely in place in all kinds of
-volumes. The plate for Mr. Steell quite speaks for itself and makes
-the sportsman feel wildly for the trigger of his gun. The buck and doe
-silhouetted against the yellow of evening and the reflection in the
-stream are a delight.
-
-Three of Mr. Tryon's designs have been engraved by Mr. E. D. French.
-The famous Sovereign plates being two, and one for Mr. Havemeyer being
-the third. This plate for Mr. Havemeyer is indicative of the owner's
-collection of Washingtoniana, and is surrounded by several of the
-well-known portraits of the father of his country, while at the top is
-a small view of Mount Vernon. The portraits and view are interwoven
-with foliage and ribbon and form a frame in which Mr. Havemeyer's arms
-are displayed. The "Sovereign" plates, which were made in 1895 for the
-library of Mr. M. C. D. Borden's yacht, are of great richness, the
-first or "crown" design being especially so. This one did not please
-the owner, who had a second one made surmounted by an eagle instead of
-a crown. This is simpler in treatment and not so decorative as the
-earlier design. These plates were both cut on the copper by Mr. French
-who treated them in a very sympathetic manner and brought out in clear
-relief the ideas of the designer.
-
-Mr. Tryon's production has not been great, reckoned by the number of
-plates made, but as his work is never done hurriedly or slightingly it
-carries an air of finished dignity and worth that gives it lasting
-qualities. As he usually has one or two plates in hand to which he
-adds a few lines and a few thoughts from time to time, we may still
-expect pleasant surprises in this miniature art from his workshop.

-A CHECK-LIST of the WORK of TWENTY-THREE BOOK-PLATE DESIGNERS of
-PROMINENCE
-
-Compiled by WILBUR MACEY STONE
-
-
-It was thought that interest and value would be added to this book by
-the inclusion of lists of the book-plates made by the more prominent
-artists whose work is reproduced here. These lists are the nearest
-complete of any that have ever been published, and as they have been
-verified in many instances by the artists themselves, and in others
-carefully collated from the actual book-plates, they may be relied
-upon as highly accurate. The sundry notes, bibliographical and
-otherwise, by which the individual lists are prefaced, are in no way
-exhaustive, but just a cursory gathering to relieve the bareness of
-the lists and to give some little additional assistance to the
-amateur. The lists are arranged alphabetically under the artists'
-names as follows:
-
- William Phillips Barrett
- Robert Anning Bell
- D. Y. Cameron
- Thomas Maitland Cleland
- Gordon Craig
- Julius Diez
- George Wharton Edwards
- Fritz Erler
- William Edgar Fisher
- Edwin Davis French

-WILLIAM PHILLIPS BARRETT
-
-In Great Britain every family of rank has its arms suitably emblazoned
-on its harnesses, carriages, table-plate, dining-chairs, and, of
-course, in its library. When a new coach is ordered, or a new set of
-harnesses, the coach-builder or the harness-maker furnish the proper
-trimmings. So milord's stationer fixes up the family letter-paper
-_and_ the family book-plate. Somebody has to lick into some semblance
-of artistic unity the records of prowess of our medieval ancestors. In
-the workshops of Messrs. "Bumpus Limited," Mr. William Phillips
-Barrett performs this more or less genial task. He has signed some
-ninety to one hundred designs, which were cut by the workmen in the
-Bumpus establishment. Mr. Barrett's designs are not wholly without
-merit, but they so apparently lack the spark of vitality and their
-execution is in many cases so hard and mechanical that one is inclined
-more to pity than to praise. In the pages of the London Ex Libris
-Journal, that industrious encourager of the ordinary and banal in
-book-plate design, Mr. Barrett's work is exploited at length. Vol.

-ROBERT ANNING BELL
-
-Robert Anning Bell, Director of the Art School of the Liverpool
-University, is the most prolific designer of artistic picture-plates
-in Great Britain. His work has long been the envy of amateurs, and no
-collection can claim to be representative without some examples of his
-work. His book-plates have been reproduced and commented on in almost
-all published articles on the general subject. The book-plate number
-of the "Studio," Simpson's "Book of Book-plates," Bowdoin's "Rise of
-the Book-plate," Zur Westen's "Ex Libris" (Leipzig, 1901), all show
-examples. His work is characterized by dignity and grace, is in good
-drawing, and has an average of excellence unsurpassed. The list is
-complete to July 1, 1902.

-D. Y. CAMERON
-
-D. Y. Cameron is one of the most prominent artists in the so-called
-"Glasgow School of Designers." His plates are nearly all etchings and
-are decidedly his own in subjects and treatment. They are most
-excellent productions. His work has been most fully exploited in
-Simpson's "Book of Book-plates," Vol. I., No. 4. There are eleven
-designs listed in Fincham, and the "Studio" Book-plate number
-reproduces four.

-THOMAS MAITLAND CLELAND
-
-Mr. Cleland is a young man who has an innate appreciation for
-decorative effect and, what is more to the purpose, an ability to
-apply it. For some years past his skill in typographic arrangement has
-added much to the products of several of our more advanced publishers;
-by more advanced I mean those with a knowledge and belief that it is
-good business to offer to the public books that delight the eye as
-well as the mind. Mr. Cleland has done many decorative bits by way of
-head- and tail-pieces and initials. There are also to his credit a
-baker's dozen of book-plates. These last are intensely decorative, and
-to class them as pictorial really does them injustice. They are
-thoroughly conventional and quite medieval in feeling.

-GORDON CRAIG
-
-"The Page" has been so much exploited in the public press that it
-seems supererogation to write anything more about it or Gordon Craig,
-one the embodiment of the other. Mr. Craig is very much of an
-all-round young man; brought up in the atmosphere of the theater and
-of books and pictures, he has dabbled in all to some purpose. He has a
-clear-cut individuality that differentiates him and his--work, I was
-going say, but perhaps play would be better, for Mr. Craig is one of
-those inconsequential chaps that seem to take things as they come and
-be chipper and happy and youthful-hearted with all. His book-plate
-work is of the meat-ax variety and inspired by the rough wood-cuts of
-the early engravers. His work has the air of the poseur that is as
-balm to the heart of the dilettante.

-JULIUS DIEZ
-
-The work of Julius Diez is rich with the flavor of medievalism and
-full decorative effect. The example shown in this book, the plate for
-Max Ostenrieder, is a little masterpiece and an ideal book-plate. Mr.
-Diez has done others much more elaborate, and with well-drawn and well
-thought-out motifs, but none to excel the bit referred to.

-
-Mr. Edwards has made a large number of very excellent book-cover
-designs and has decorated several volumes throughout. One of the most
-beautiful of the latter is Spenser's Epithalamion, published by Dodd,
-Mead & Company. Mr. Edwards has done a few other book-plates in
-addition to those listed here, but these are all he wishes to stand
-sponsor for.

-FRITZ ERLER
-
-Fritz Erler has been one of the leading contributors to that prince of
-German art periodicals, "Jugend," since its beginning. His book-plates
-are characterized by the same imaginative spirit and weirdness that
-appear in all his work. His work is often reproduced in soft tints
-with excellent effect. In the third volume of "Jugend" there was a
-double page given to prints of Mr. Erler's book-plates.

-EDWIN DAVIS FRENCH
-
-The book-plates of Edwin Davis French are the most esteemed of those
-of our present American engravers. His work is decidedly the vogue
-among those who can afford the best, and is much prized by collectors.
-There has rarely been an article on book-plates published in the past
-five years or more that has not contained a eulogy of his work, and
-there have been reproductions galore, both from the original coppers
-and by half-tone. There is no American designer whose work is so
-eagerly sought by the collector or for which larger returns are asked
-in exchanges. Mr. French usually designs the work he engraves, but in
-several instances he has cut plates from the designs of others. Such
-instances are noted in the list. Mr. French's work is characterized by
-daintiness of design and great beauty of execution. He is
-unquestionably a master of the graver in decorative work. In the
-following list those numbered 133 and below are from Mr. Lemperly's
-well-known list, and credit is hereby rendered him therefor. The rest
-of the list is made up from various sources and has been very
-carefully compared and is believed to be accurate and complete, with
-the few exceptions noted, to July 1, 1902.

-BERTRAM G. GOODHUE
-
-Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue is a Boston architect who has made several
-book-plates of merit. One made for a department of Harvard University
-is particularly rich in decorative effect, and a design of which one
-would not grow weary. Others of Mr. Goodhue's designs are treated in
-broad line and might have been reproduced very effectively by wood
-engraving.

-HARRY E. GOODHUE
-
-The few book-plates designed by Harry E. Goodhue are mostly of the
-"girl and book" type. In the plate for Jessy McClellan the young woman
-appears to be sorry she "done it," or else is quite discouraged at the
-idea of lifting her folio romance into her lap. Mr. Goodhue's most
-pleasing design is that for Constance Alexander, shown on page 27.

-T. B. HAPGOOD, Jr.
-
-Mr. Hapgood is a decorative designer in Boston, and his work on the
-covers of various periodicals and catalogs is well known. Plate No. 5
-was submitted in competition and took second prize. It has never been
-reproduced. No. 1 was reproduced in "The Red Letter," No. 2 in the
-book-plate number of "The Studio," as was also No. 4. No. 14 has not
-been reproduced. No. 15 was originally made as a printer's mark and
-was so used. It was later altered to serve as a book-plate.

-HAROLD E. NELSON
-
-Many of the figures in the book-plates by Harold Nelson are of the
-attenuated pre-Raphaelite type, but there are others one can believe
-really once lived. The frontispiece to the book-plate number of "The
-Studio" is a beautiful decorative bit by Mr. Nelson, and makes us
-quite willing to forgive him some of his more eccentric designs. The
-plate referred to is enhanced in beauty by a few lines of gold
-judiciously used. The musical plate on page 18 of this volume is a
-pleasing one.

-EDMUND H. NEW
-
-The book-plate designs by Mr. New are in a class by themselves. No one
-else has worked quite the field occupied by this artist. Mr. New has
-used architecture for the motifs of a series of unusually pleasing
-plates. He has treated in a most decorative way whole buildings as
-well as details, doorways, and so forth. His plates are particularly
-adapted to the dignified old houses that contain the libraries for
-which they were made. Mr. New has not limited himself to this field,
-as he has done a number of designs with no architectural suggestion.
-His work in book illustration and decoration is of a most delightful
-quality, and is well known to all lovers of black and white. A number
-of his book-plate designs were reproduced and commented upon in
-Simpson's "Book of Book-plates," Vol. II., No. I. The book-plate
-number of "The Studio" also showed some of his designs. The list is in
-chronological order and complete.

-HENRY OSPOVAT
-
-Henry Ospovat is a young Russian artist residing in London. He has
-done some superb decorative work for the sonnets and poems of
-Shakespeare published by John Lane. His book-plates are precious bits
-of decoration worthy the adoration of all lovers of the beautiful.
-There have been only a few reproductions of them. The book-plate
-number of "The Studio" shows several and Fincham's "Artists and
-Engravers" lists two.

-ARMAND RASSENFOSSE
-
-Armand Rassenfosse is a resident of Liege, therefore, presumably, a
-Belgian and a subject of the German Empire. But as stone walls do not
-always a prison make, so frontiers do not always mark the nationality
-of art and letters. Mr. Rassenfosse is distinctly French in his
-feeling and artistic point of view. Perhaps I should rather say
-Parisian, for it is of the Latin Quartier and the Beaux Arts that his
-work breathes. His designs are almost entirely of nude femininity and
-his method of expression the etching. He has made some eight or ten
-charming bits, full of life and chic--I was going to say, frou-frou,
-but that would be a misnomer, for his models are innocent of gowns or
-lingerie. Their spirit and beauty of execution is high, but as
-book-plate designs--well, it's a bit like champagne for breakfast.

-LOUIS RHEAD
-
-The illustrator of "Pilgrim's Progress" and the "Idylls of the King"
-needs no introduction to the average book-lover, and the hearts of the
-poster-collectors throb at his name. Mr. Rhead is an American of
-English birth and a resident of one of the suburbs of greater Gotham.
-His decorative work has been long and favorably known, and his
-book-plates can but add to his reputation. He has done but fifteen,
-and two of these are yet to be reproduced, but some examples of his
-work are in most collections.

-BYAM SHAW
-
-The one or two book-plate designs by Mr. Shaw that have been published
-show a magnificent imaginative conception and makes the lover of the
-beautiful ardently wish for "more." The one for Isabella Hunter, on
-page 216 of Vol. I. of the "International Studio," is at the head of
-its class. Mr. Shaw's other line-drawings and his paintings have a
-richness and weirdness of design that is very attractive.

-JOSEPH W. SIMPSON
-
-Mr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, is a young Scotchman of infinite ambition
-and generous talent. He is not only a clever designer of book-plates,
-but he has a magazine to exploit his schemes and theories of art. This
-is reputed to be a quarterly, but it is erratic, like its sponsor, and
-issues "once in a while." Mr. Simpson's designs are full of feeling
-and rich in treatment. About twenty-five of these have seen the light
-and are prized by the lovers of modernity.

-HANS THOMA
-
-Hans Thoma is a painter of national reputation in Germany who has
-thought it not beneath his dignity to do book-plate designs. This by
-way of recreation or to strengthen his line for more pretentious
-efforts. His designs are along classic and dignified lines. His own
-personal plate is a weird one; on it is a nude youth bearing the torch
-of knowledge and riding a gruesome dragon.

-BERNHARD WENIG
-
-Bernhard Wenig is a comparatively newcomer in the field of book-plate
-design, but he has already established for himself an enviable
-reputation in Germany, and his work is meeting with a growing
-appreciation by collectors in this country. Mr. Wenig's general manner
-is that of the old engraved wood block, bold and more or less crude of
-line, but full of virility. Most of his work is reproduced in black on
-white, but in a few instances he has used a color or two with good
-effect. His choice of subjects is varied, but the studious bookman of
-the middle ages seems to be uppermost in his heart and mind. Mr. Wenig
-has made one plate for a child, a small boy, that is among the best
-half-dozen of designs for children.

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project

-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth

-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-ventured into the field of book-plate designing;
-and the result has been that many of the book-plates
-that are current have little to commend them
-to critical observers. The present increasing interest
-in these little bits of the graver&rsquo;s art has
-greatly encouraged the production of them, and
-new ones arise daily. It is desirable, therefore, if
-we are to have book-plates at all, that they shall
-be as artistic as may be; and it is important, from
-an art standpoint, to all those who are about to

-
-<p>Most of our leading designers have
-hitherto been grouped in the eastern section
-of our country, or at least not much
-further west than Chicago. Some few
-designs, it is true, have been produced in
-California, but for the most part the book-plates
-of note have been marked with an
-eastern geographical origin.</p>
-
-<p>In William Edgar Fisher we have a
-designer who has strikingly departed from
-geographical conditions of book-plate designing
-heretofore prevailing, and in faraway
-Fargo, North Dakota, has set up his
-studio from whence have come designs that
-are fresh, original and very pleasing. Mr.
-Fisher loves to work in a pictorial field.
-He makes a plate that tells a story, and in
-his best plates there is artfully placed
-something bookish that harmonizes with the
-design-form selected; and, because of art
-coherence and harmony in design that go
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>4]</a></span>
-hand in hand, his plates are more than satisfactory. The general eastern
-notion in regard to North Dakota is that nothing artistic can come out of
-the State, but the work done there by Mr. Fisher quickly dispels such an
-idea. The plates he has drawn are acknowledged as highly meritorious by
-the best American masters of book-plate designing. In all the plates from
-the hand of this artist that are here grouped, and which may be regarded as
-quite typical of him, there are only two that do not contain a book as a detail
-somewhere in the finished plate.</p>

-
-<p>One of the exceptions is the plate of the Studio Club that gains infinitely
-by the omission of a book in the plate as produced. The grouping of
-the five observers (symbolic of the members of the Studio Club) around
-the feminine portrait is most charming, and to the writer it appears one of
-the happiest of recent productions in appropriate book-plates.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Fisher&rsquo;s feminine figures that he introduces into many of his
-plates are likewise exceedingly effective. This is particularly the case when
-to the charms of femininity he has added those of symbolism, as in the case
-of the plate for Miss Winifred Knight, in which the graceful female masker
-appears at the shrine of the idealized god Pan, who writes, it may be something
-oracular, in her proffered album. The figure is gracefully posed and
-the lines of the arms and neck are marked by pleasant curves.</p>

-
-<p>In the plate of Maie Bruce Douglas, Mr. Fisher may have been influenced
-by Hans Christian Andersen. At any rate, whether or not this is so,
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5"><!-- original location of illustrations --></a></span>
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>6]</a></span>
-he has neatly and most effectively grouped the old-time jester with his cap
-and bells, the pointed shoes from whence came our modern samples, and the
-maiden with the quaintness of head-dress and drapery, that at least suggests
-the fairy and the incidental sacred stork, making this plate with its shelf of
-books and the panel of repeated heraldic shields very attractive even to
-the chance observer.</p>
-
-<p>In the plates for the Misses Mary N. Lewis, Elizabeth Langdon, Leila
-H. Cole and Elizabeth Allen there are several diverse methods shown in
-which convention has been pleasingly utilized. The vine and tree forms that
-are motifs are very effective, and in all of these we see suggestions of treatment
-similar to that which stands out perhaps a little more pronouncedly
-in the plate of Miss Douglas. Costume quaintness, charm of pose, graceful
-outline, the tendency toward lecturn detail and delicacy of touch, are in each
-instance here seen to be characteristic of the artist.</p>
-
-<p>The plate of John Charles Gage has in it the atmosphere of the monastery.
-Two friars are busy with a folio manuscript that has been beautifully
-illuminated. The one reads the lessons for the day from the book of
-hours. The other has a pleasing bit of gossip that he is telling to his
-brother friar as he reads, and the reader hears with eagerness with his ears
-while he reads without absorption with his eyes.</p>

-
-<p>Into the plate of Samuel H. Hudson the atmosphere of the monastery
-is also introduced. The cordelier sits absorbedly reading his matins.
-Through the open window of the monkish cell is seen the morning medieval
-landscape whose charms exercise no influence upon the solitary recluse, solitary
-save for the monkey who plays sad havoc with the vellum volume that
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>7]</a></span>
-lies upon the cell floor and the destruction
-of which the Franciscan is too absorbed to
-notice. The monkey as a foil for the ascetic
-in this plate shows that Mr. Fisher has
-a strong appreciation of the most delicate
-humor, which here crops out most delightfully.
-The border makes the plate a trifle
-heavy, but this can easily be excused because
-of the charm of the plate otherwise.</p>

-<p>The dog is given a prominent place in
-the plate of Miss Lula Thomas Wear. He
-dominates even the books, and it may be
-that the owner prefers her dachshund to her
-library, although it is evident that her books
-have some place in her esteem.</p>
-
-<p>The design on the plate of Stanley
-Shepard suggests a derivation from an old
-print. The caravel rides upon the waves
-according to the conception of the old-time
-engravers. The anchor, the sword fish of
-the deep sea, and the sea-stars all suggest the ocean voyager who has
-deep down in his heart a love of books.</p>

-
-<p>In contrast with the plate of Mr.
-Shepard&rsquo;s appears that bearing the name
-of Silvanus Macy, Jr. The love of hunting
-stands out right boldly here, and in the
-fox hunt does Mr. Macy undoubtedly
-revel. He could not have such a book-plate
-otherwise, and live with it every day,
-let it be in all his books and have it stand
-for him as it does, unless it was fairly representative
-of the man&rsquo;s personality. That
-is what makes a book-plate so eminently
-interesting, aside from the art work put
-upon it. Books appeal to all sorts and
-conditions of men, as the work of Mr.
-Fisher&rsquo;s here grouped clearly indicates.</p>
-
-<p>The plate from the books of Miss
-Edna B. Stockhouse is a trifle shadowy in
-motif notwithstanding which there can be
-no doubt the owner loves books. The
-face in the book-plate reads. There is
-also a love of the beautiful in ceramics indicated
-as an incident in the plate. No
-wonder the head wears an aureole.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>8]</a></span>
-The &ldquo;Bi Lauda&rdquo; plate is that of a secret society at Wellsville, N.&nbsp;Y.,
-and we, therefore, forgive if we cannot forget its poverty of bookish design.</p>

-
-<p>In the personal plate of the designer, of all those here reproduced, we
-catch glimpses of the artist&rsquo;s own personality. We see him as a book-lover
-and something of his inspiration is spread out before us. He goes reading
-along, carrying reserve volumes in case the one
-that engages his attention in the portraiture
-is happily finished. Mr. Fisher has been
-producing book-plates only since 1898, since
-which time he has to his credit some forty
-examples of work in this field. He is perhaps
-happiest in his rendition of the plate
-pictorial, and he has sometimes tinted his
-plates most charmingly. Mr. Fisher prepared for
-Cornell at Phillips Academy, Andover,
-Mass. At Cornell he studied architecture for
-two years, with especial attention to drawing.
-He also studied, for six months, at the Art
-Institute, Chicago, Ill., whither he went
-from Cornell. He has been largely self-taught
-in the matter of designing, but his work indicates
-that his teacher was a good one. He
-has privately but carefully studied the work
-of the best modern pen-and-ink draughtsmen,
-and from this he has formed his personal style. The methods and
-craftsmanship of reproduction were the subject of special study on his part
-while he was with one of the large Chicago engraving houses. Anything
-that comes from his hand will be sure of the most kindly reception, so long
-as his work is maintained at the present high standard.</p>

-<h2><a name="chap03" id="chap03"></a>THE ARTISTIC BOOK-PLATE</h2>
-
-<p class="chapauthor">By TEMPLE SCOTT</p>

-
-<div>
-<img class="drop-capi" src="images/dcap01.png" width="240" height="236" alt="" />
-</div>
-<p class="drop-capi">A BOOK-PLATE, in its simplest expression, is a
-printed indication of the ownership of a book.
-It may take the form of the unadorned visiting
-card, or it may be embellished with heraldic and
-other designs explanatory of the owner&rsquo;s name,
-ancestry, tastes, or predilections. Primarily,
-however, it is intended to fix ownership. How
-far it satisfactorily serves its purpose, is, perhaps,
-of little moment to the average book-collector;
-for the book-plate has emerged from the stage
-of practical utility and become a thing in itself,
-so to speak. It has taken its place beside the many <i>articles de vertu</i> which
-are godsends to the weary of brain and heart, inasmuch as they become the
-objects of a passion so delightful in its experience, as to make us forget the
-little trials and worries of life that make pessimists of us in this &ldquo;bleak
-Aceldama of sorrow.&rdquo; Nay, they may even become the one sun, shining
-and irradiating for us all the dark places of our wanderings, and cheer us
-with the hopes for newer and finer acquisitions than we already have.</p>
-
-<p>When, however, we come to a consideration of the <em>artistic</em> book-plate,
-we enter upon a new field of enquiry entirely. It indicates that a simple
-usage of a necessary and harmless convention has developed into a complex
-expression&mdash;an expression not merely of the individual to whom the book
-belongs, but also of the artist whose business it is to give pictorial form to
-the desires and wishes and tastes of his patron.</p>
-
-<p>From the crude, if sufficient, paste-board stuck on the end-paper, to
-the heraldic display, was, surely, no very far cry. In the countries of the
-Old World, where pride of ancestry touches the worthy and unworthy alike,
-it was to be expected that so valuable an opportunity for flaunting the deeds
-of &ldquo;derring do&rdquo; of one&rsquo;s forefathers as a sign of one&rsquo;s own distinction, such
-as the book-plate offers, was certainly not to be neglected. So we find that
-the coats of arms which once served as inspirations, and which once had a
-genuine meaning to their owners and retainers, now do service in the more
-peaceful realms of Bookland. And, assuredly, there are certain books in
-a library, which are more worthily acknowledged after this ancient and martial
-fashion. We cannot but believe that a Froissart from the press of
-Caxton or Wynkyn de Worde, would be handled with more reverence if one
-saw on the verso of its front cover a glorious display of the arcana of heraldry,
-in all its magnificence of mysterious meaning. This feeling would
-also be aroused in turning the leaves of, say, Philippe le Noir&rsquo;s edition of
-the &ldquo;Gesta Romanorum&rdquo; (1532), or of Hayton&rsquo;s &ldquo;Lytell Cronycle&rdquo; from
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>20]</a></span>
-the shop of Richard Pynson, or of Mandeville&rsquo;s &ldquo;Voyages and Travailles,&rdquo;
-issued by T. Snodham in 1625, or of Pliny&rsquo;s &ldquo;Historia Naturalis&rdquo; from
-the Venetian press of Nic. Jenson in 1472, or of Rastell&rsquo;s &ldquo;Pastyme of
-People,&rdquo; &ldquo;emprynted in Chepesyde at the Sygne of the Mermayd&rdquo; in 1529.
-To these and their like a book-plate of heraldic story comes as a fitting and
-graceful complement.</p>
-
-<p>But the average mortal of this work-a-day world and age has not the
-means wherewith to acquire such treasures of the bibliophile. Nor, perhaps,
-has he the necessary pedigree with which to adorn them, if acquired;
-though on this latter consideration, we suspect that the Herald&rsquo;s College in
-the purlieus of Doctors&rsquo; Commons, and the more amenable, though not less
-expensive Tiffany on this side of the Atlantic, would, no doubt, prove
-excellent aids to a full satisfaction.</p>
-
-<p>But we are not here dealing with the pomp and glorious circumstance
-of Heraldry. In dealing with the artistic book-plate, we are considering a
-matter which concerns itself not with past stories or past individuals, but
-with the present tale and the particular living personage who has the laudable
-and humble ambition to distinguish his copy of a book from his friend&rsquo;s copy
-of the same book. A taste in books may be easily whitewashed, but a
-taste in a book-plate flares its owner&rsquo;s heart right into the eyes of the
-demurest damsel or the simplest swain. It may be that our collection is
-but a series of Tauchnitz editions carefully garnered on a European tour, or
-a handful or two of Bohn&rsquo;s Library, accumulated from our more studious
-days, or a treatise on golf, chess, gardening and photography, or a history of
-the state or town in which we live&mdash;it matters little what&mdash;these are the
-treasures we most prize, and we wish to hold them. Now, how best shall
-the collector mark them as his own?</p>
-
-<p>He writes his name on the title-page. Ugh! What a vandal&rsquo;s act!
-The man who could so disfigure a book deserves to have it taken from him,
-and his name obliterated. He who could find it in his heart to write on
-title-pages could surely commit a murder. We&rsquo;d much rather he turned a
-leaf down to mark the place where he had left off in his reading; though to
-do that is bad enough, in all conscience. Nor does he save his soul by
-writing on the fly-title, or even end-paper. Moreover, this will not save
-his book either. A visiting card can easily be taken out&mdash;it looks too
-formal, nondescript, meaningless, common, to inspire any respect in a would-be
-thief. But an artistic book-plate! Ah! that&rsquo;s another thing altogether.</p>
-
-<p>An artistic book-plate is the expression in decorative illustration of the
-proprietor&rsquo;s tastes, made by an artist who has sympathetically realized the
-feeling intended. It should objectify one, and only one, salient characteristic,
-either of temperament, habit, disposition, or pleasure, of its owner. If it
-does less, it is not individual; if it does more, it is not satisfying.</p>
-
-<p>Now each one of us has some characteristic trait that is not common to
-us all&mdash;then let that be the aim of the artist to embody in decorative form.
-And let that embodiment be simple and direct&mdash;the simpler and more direct
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>21]</a></span>
-it is, the more will it appear; and the more beautiful it is the more will it
-soften the kleptomaniacal tendencies of the ghoulish book-hunter. For nothing
-touches him so nearly to the finer impulses of nature than the contemplation
-of beauty; and he would be less than human did he fail to respond. We
-would even go to the length of giving as an admirable test of the book-plate
-artist&rsquo;s powers, the lending of a book (whose loss would give no qualms)
-containing the plate. If it come not back, there&rsquo;s something the matter
-with your plate; or, you can libel your friend as a beast of low degree,
-which suggests a good way of finding out your friend&rsquo;s true character. But
-then, there&rsquo;s no limit to the powers of a beautiful book-plate.</p>
-
-<p>Now there are a great many coy people who don&rsquo;t care to wear their
-hearts on their sleeves; these would naturally feel indisposed to post themselves
-thus before the public eye, be the book-plate never so beautiful.
-To these we would say: Give us what you prize best&mdash;your home, your
-wife, your sweetheart, your motto (though that&rsquo;s giving yourself away too),
-your baby, anything that is truly yours. (Babies are quite <i>&agrave; propos</i>, and
-should be characteristic, though it does not always follow. Some babies
-have a habit of taking after quite other people.) The idea is, to embody
-something individual, something special and particular.</p>
-
-<p>If he can afford a large library, or is a collector of the works of one or
-two authors, there&rsquo;s a way out of the difficulty for the coy person, by having
-the book-plate represent the characteristic of the author and have his name
-as an addition. That may be taking a liberty&mdash;but authors are accustomed
-to that; and, besides, you are appreciating them, and that should exorcise
-the spirit of an indignant &ldquo;classic&rdquo; from the four walls of your library.
-Have the original of the design framed on the wall; it may save you a lot
-of explanation should the spook even get &ldquo;mad.&rdquo; You can always lay the
-blame on the artist. Of course, this means a book-plate for each author;
-but as book-plates are not, after all, such very expensive luxuries, this consideration
-need be a matter of but small moment.</p>
-
-<p>Yet another idea is to have an artistic treatment of a representation of
-your library, your &ldquo;den.&rdquo; That sounds very inviting and certainly can
-hurt no one&rsquo;s feelings. If you don&rsquo;t happen to possess a special apartment,
-give an apartment such as you would like to possess. Or show your
-favorite chair, or nook, or greenwood tree, or running brook, or garden
-plot. There are thousands of ways in which to fashion a book-plate, and an
-artistic book-plate, too. We thus can see what an advance the modern
-artistic book-plate is on the old style article&mdash;so formal, so characterless, so
-inchoate and so amorphous.</p>
-
-<p>Indeed the artistic book-plate is a genuine inspiration, or it may be
-made so. How charming, or delight-giving, or valuable, or intoxicating it
-is, depends largely on the artist. But it also depends on the individual who
-desires it. It should be planned with care and executed with feeling. It
-should be like no other book-plate in the sense that it possesses some <em>flavor</em>
-that is private and personal. It should be as much an indication of the
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>22]</a></span>
-owner&rsquo;s taste as is his library&mdash;and no man can hide his nature from the
-friend who has had access to that. There are many things a book-plate
-should not be&mdash;but these may be summed up in the advice&mdash;it should not
-be a mask. You may order your books by the hundredweight from your
-bookseller, but that won&rsquo;t stand you in any stead when your friend handles
-them and turns to you for a criticism, or an opinion. You may also commission
-your artist for a book-plate; but you are in a worse plight if you
-fail in the more direct explanation you will be required to make to the
-insistent inquiries as to its meaning or appositeness. No! Be it ever so
-humble, let it be yours. It may be a poor thing, but it is your own; but
-it may be also a very rich thing, and your own also.</p>

-<p><span class="dropcap">L</span>OVERS of the beautiful have been
-burdened with endless talk and
-writing and many quarrels on the
-nude in art, and now I have the temerity
-to open a new field of battle and throw
-down the gauntlet for strife. The Eternal
-Feminine is a prominent factor in the
-picture book-plates of the day, and she
-is showing some tendencies to appear
-minus her apparel. Question: is it wise
-and in good taste?</p>
-
-<p>Of course, to start with, I am quite
-free to admit that good taste is a movable
-feast and is much influenced by the point
-of view. Your taste is good if it agrees
-with mine; otherwise it is bad taste or no
-taste. At any rate, there are a few things
-we can agree upon, I think. For instance,
-that there is a wide distinction between
-the nude and the naked. Also, that the
-human form divine is most beautiful, but
-that to remain most beautiful it must
-deviate not one jot or tittle from the
-divine, for any deviation is to tend to the earthy and gross, which is vulgar
-and&mdash;bad taste. We can also agree, I think, that partially draped figures
-can be, and often are, sensual and repulsive beyond the frankly nude, and
-this without the direct intent or knowledge of the artist.</p>
-
-<div class="poemcenter">
-<div class="poem">
-<div class="stanza">
-<div class="i0">&ldquo;A hair perhaps divides the false and true,</div>
-<div class="i0">Yes; and a single slip were the clue&mdash;&rdquo;</div>
-</div>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p>But above all things a nude figure should never carry the idea of a consciousness
-of its nudity! Also, clothing or drapery used simply to hide
-portions of the figure is execrable and more suggestive than any entire
-absence of clothing; while to add, as I have seen done, a hat and French-heeled
-shoes to a nude figure is abominable beyond condemnation.</p>
-
-<p>But all this is of broad application and is sawing upon the same old and
-frayed strings. Abstractly, a beautiful nude is as beautiful on a book-plate
-as in a portfolio or in a frame, and some of the most beautiful book-plates I
-have ever seen have been nudes. Nevertheless, to me the nude seems out
-of place and in questionable taste on a book-plate; the simple matter of
-repetition is enough to condemn it.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>34]</a></span>
-The partially draped figures by
-R. Anning Bell are chaste and beautiful,
-and one never thinks of them
-other than as clothed; so they can
-hardly be considered in this discussion.
-Many of the book-plates by
-Henry Ospovat contain partly draped
-figures which are always beautifully
-drawn, pure and a constant delight.
-But really, I think it would jar me to
-meet even an angel&mdash;the same one,
-mind you&mdash;in each of a thousand
-volumes. Emil Orlak, in Austria,
-has made some fairly pleasing nudes,
-but they lack that purity of conception
-without which they are common.
-Armand Rassenfosse, of Belgium,
-has etched a number of dainty, faultlessly
-drawn and really most beautiful
-nudes, but many of them have been
-ruined by the needless addition of
-shoes and fancy head-dresses. Pal
-de Mont, of Antwerp, has a plate by
-Edmond van Oppel which he probably
-thinks a work of art, but which
-is surely the height of vulgarity;
-while in &ldquo;Composite Book-Plates&rdquo;
-is a design by Theodore Simson
-containing a large figure of a nude
-woman with her hair done in a pug,
-seated in a grove amid dandelions
-and poppies, and diligently reading a book. The figure is treated in broad
-outline, which is ill adapted to the subject, and it lacks that refinement without
-which nothing is beautiful. She is absolutely at variance with her
-environment, and the whole is a <i>tour de force</i> quite unforgivable.</p>

-
-<p>Miss Labouchere, in her volume on ladies&rsquo; plates, shows a rather
-amusing pair of designs for Miss Nellie Heaton. These plates both bear
-the legend, &ldquo;Gather ye roses while ye may.&rdquo; In the first, the designer, Mrs.
-Baker, has a fair creature in all the glory of entire nudity plucking blossoms
-from a rose-vine. In the other, she used the same design throughout, but
-has fully clothed the figure. Evidently Miss Heaton protested.</p>
-
-<p>These designs by a woman call to mind the fact that among the
-book-plates of over one hundred and fifty women designers with which I
-am familiar, I know of but one other nude. This other is by Miss Mary
-Florence, and is of a large full-length angel entirely undraped.</p>

-
-<p>Fritz Erler, a German designer
-of much strength, has made a number
-of symbolic book-plates. All, I believe,
-have the feminine as motif, and
-in several the figures are nude. The
-design for Emil Gerh&auml;user is inoffensive
-and well-drawn, but surely is not
-beautiful, and lacks a good excuse for
-existence. In a generally pleasing decorative
-arrangement for Robert H.
-Smith, Harold Nelson, an English
-designer, shows a rather attenuated
-nude maiden looking with envy at a
-gorgeous peacock on the opposite
-side of the design; while the peacock
-in turn seems to say, &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you
-grow some feathers?&rdquo;</p>
-
-<p>We naturally expect to find well-drawn,
-if not always pleasing, nudes
-in the French school. Henry Andr&eacute;,
-one of the best known French designers
-of book-plates, uses the nude quite
-freely in his work; in some instances pleasingly, but in one or two with
-marked vulgarity. Octave Uzanne has
-the most pleasing nude plate that I have
-ever seen. It is designed by Gu&eacute;rin,
-and represents a tortoise bearing the implements
-of the artist, and coaxed along by
-the hot torch of knowledge in the hand
-of a light-winged cupid. By Sherborn,
-the great, I have seen but one nude in a
-book-plate, and that a poor thing but
-innocuous, for Mr. Harris Fahnestock
-of New York. Mr. E.&nbsp;D. French has
-made but one nude that I have seen,
-that for Mr. E.&nbsp;H. Bierstadt; the design
-shows a nude shepherd boy piping
-to his flock. The plate Mr. French
-engraved for Mr. De Vinne, from the
-design by Geo. Fletcher Babb, has nude
-termini for bearers, and is elegant and
-beautiful, an ideal plate.</p>

-fear; but the fact remains that they have thereby avoided the perpetration
-of at least some crimes. Judging by the examples we have been able to cite,
-and they are representative, it would seem that the best advice we can give
-those tempted to use the undraped beautiful in their book-plates is&mdash;don&rsquo;t.</p>

-of the present day the architect
-may, if he choose, take a high
-place. He is one whose studies have
-led him through the paths of artistic
-training where his eye and hand have
-learned to see color and form and balance
-of parts, and while the usual media
-of his profession are wood, stone, terra
-cotta and iron, there are many by-paths
-through which he must travel to appreciate
-the value of his pencil lines upon
-the flat.</p>
-
-<p>No more delightful by-way than
-the book-plate route will open before
-him, hedged in as it is by purely artistic
-shrubbery and leading constantly to
-pretty and even beautiful designs in
-which the genius of architecture has
-played a great part. Moreover, all his preceding journey through the hard
-conventional country to which architecture at first seems limited, has
-equipped him thoroughly to give expression to his fancy. That the gift of
-imagination is among his endowments should be taken for granted, however,
-if the architect is to succeed in the line
-of drawing book-plates.</p>
-
-<p>Fancy and imagination being in his
-mental equipment the architect can
-&ldquo;rest&rdquo; his mind in no more delightful
-fashion than by giving them full scope in
-this gem-like art. His experience, his
-collections of drawings, the work of
-others of his craft which he has studied,
-all tend to render his fund of information
-large, and if he has the key to book-plate
-art, inexhaustible, since nothing
-comes amiss to the pen of one whose
-facile fancy can grasp a good motive and
-direct it to a purpose other than that
-originally intended.</p>

-
-<p>In the early days of art the architect
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>40]</a></span>
-was not only a designer of buildings but was also a sculptor and sometimes
-a decorative painter. He was called upon by his patrons to design whatever
-was needed at the moment, and these men were &ldquo;all-round&rdquo; artists, the day
-of specialization and the speculator not having dawned.</p>
-
-<p>Buonarotti is an awesome name to call up, but this great painter,
-sculptor, architect and builder touched nothing that he did not adorn, and in
-many of the hundreds of crayon sketches and cartoons that he left behind
-him, the feeling of the book-plate artist is clear. Had Lorenzo the Magnificent
-wanted a book-plate for use in his library, the great Michael Angelo
-could have filled the want from his own notes, with very little of either suppression
-or expansion. It may seem strange to think of this Titan of art,
-the creator of the sweeping &ldquo;Last
-Judgment&rdquo; turning his pencil to the
-delicate lines, the imperceptible nuances
-demanded by a book-plate, yet it
-may be repeated, in his work may be
-found a myriad of suggestions for
-these gem-like products.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter" style="width: 360px;">
-<img src="images/bpt085.png" width="360" height="468"
-alt="Book-plate of Annah M. Fellowes" />
-<p class="caption">By Thomas Tryon</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Buonarotti was not, however,
-first and last an architect. Painter
-and sculptor also, these sides of his
-artist soul would have been drawn on
-for the book-plate. Therefore the
-statement that not every architect can
-design so fanciful and dainty a work
-as a book-plate becomes a truism
-patent to everybody. The architect&rsquo;s
-profession calls for a two-fold nature,
-the one side tending toward that of
-the engineer with its eminently practical
-and very necessary tables of
-stress and strain, its mathematical
-calculations for loads and disposition
-of carrying walls, while the other side
-leans to a nice discernment of color and proportion. The laying out of
-vistas and the arrangement of surfaces and lines, so that the eye is aided in
-receiving the best impression from all points of view. Of this turn of mind
-is the one who can and does design book-plates. The very practical architect,
-if he wishes the glory, which is doubtful, has one of his draftsmen make
-the design and then signs the drawing and gets the glory. It would be
-amusing if such an one through some luck charm received constant application
-for such work. His draftsmen would change and his drawings be as dissimilar
-as the men who drew them. Possibly the signature would lead the
-long-suffering public to think him very versatile.</p>
-
-<p>It is not of this class of architect that we write. It is of him who is half
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>41]</a></span>
-painter or sculptor, and who loves his pen and pencil and delights in the
-personal expression of his ideals. He finds that his way of seeing things is
-more to his liking than any way of any other man. He sees the infinite
-beauty of nature and loves her shifting pictures in the clouds. Then too, he
-must have the ability to clearly comprehend the half-formed ideas of him
-whose plate he undertakes to draw. This is not always an easy matter.
-There are but few in the world who can formulate their ideas, much less
-invent a picture without first seeing it. Here the architect has, perhaps, an
-advantage over the purely imaginative artist, since the average man does not
-know the difference between the Classic period and the Gothic, the Napoleon
-era and the modern German renaissance.</p>
-
-<p>Of the architects who have obtained unquestioned recognition in this
-exquisite art, Thomas Tryon is among those whose work is especially
-prized. His adaptation of architectural forms to the confined space of the
-book-plate shows the work of a man who has command of his tools and
-knowledge, and despite the narrow confines of the field his work is not at all
-&ldquo;cabined or cribbed.&rdquo; The illustrations accompanying this essay are taken
-rather at random from among Mr. Tryon&rsquo;s designs, but they will convey to
-those unfamiliar with his work, a fair idea of its scope and treatment. His
-first design was a plate for his father, an ornate armorial design, the name
-being set up in type at the base. The plate for Miss Annah M. Fellowes
-is quite elaborate. A long-haired and bewhiskered knight stands before us in
-a suit of rich armor, his right hand bearing his sword and helmet, and his left
-resting upon his shield. His helmet is surmounted by a pair of spreading
-wings. The design is backed by a rambling rose bush on which is hung the
-motto ribbon.</p>

-<p class="caption">By Thomas Tryon</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Mr. Frank Pool is obviously a lover of the drama. In an oval window
-set in masonry, is a Roman gentleman, laurel crowned, reading from a
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>42]</a></span>
-large volume, while at the upper right and left
-sides are comedy and tragedy masks from which
-hang a gracefully festooned wreath. Palms,
-ribbon and name plate finish the design. For
-Mr. Farragut, the son of our old admiral, Mr.
-Tryon has made a very &ldquo;salt water&rdquo; arrangement
-of arms. The shield is surmounted by a
-quaint ship and the bearers are dolphins, which
-on one side encircle a trident and on the other
-a sword. The conventional acanthus leaves
-give body and decoration to the whole. Perhaps
-one of the most distinctively beautiful of
-Mr. Tryon&rsquo;s designs is the fleur-de-lis for Mr.
-Marcus. In this the artist has blended most
-delightfully the natural and the heraldic flower
-and has produced a gem of which one never tires. For his sister and her
-children Mr. Tryon has made a light and airy design, distinctively feminine
-and graceful. The main feature of the design is an ornate cypher of the
-letters S T. On the ribbon below the name is shown. This is changed to
-the names of Mrs. Stone&rsquo;s three daughters for their individual use. The
-plate reproduced here is that of one of Mrs. Stone&rsquo;s daughters. The design
-for &ldquo;The Boys Club&rdquo; is surmounted by the American eagle perched upon
-the globe, and the flag of our country is
-draped over the tablet bearing the lettering.
-This plate has been reproduced
-both by photo-process and copper plate.</p>

-<p>Of the three color plates reproduced
-the first was made for Mr. A.&nbsp;W.
-Brunner, and has for &ldquo;piece de resistence&rdquo;
-a very ingenious monogram set
-in an oval frame. For bearers there are
-two graceful palms and the keystone is
-surmounted by a pile of books and a
-classic student&rsquo;s lamp. The base of the
-design is relieved by a pleasing arrangement
-of acanthus leaves. The plate for
-Miss Cox is a seal-like design, dignified
-yet dainty, and would be entirely in
-place in all kinds of volumes. The
-plate for Mr. Steell quite speaks for
-itself and makes the sportsman feel
-wildly for the trigger of his gun. The
-buck and doe silhouetted against the
-yellow of evening and the reflection in
-the stream are a delight.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>43]</a></span>
-Three of Mr. Tryon&rsquo;s designs have been engraved by Mr. E.&nbsp;D.
-French. The famous Sovereign plates being two, and one for Mr.
-Havemeyer being the third. This plate for Mr. Havemeyer is indicative of
-the owner&rsquo;s collection of Washingtoniana, and is surrounded by several of the
-well-known portraits of the father of his country, while at the top is a small
-view of Mount Vernon. The portraits and view are interwoven with foliage
-and ribbon and form a frame in which Mr. Havemeyer&rsquo;s arms are displayed.
-The &ldquo;Sovereign&rdquo; plates, which were made in 1895 for the library of Mr.
-M.&nbsp;C.&nbsp;D. Borden&rsquo;s yacht, are of great richness, the first or &ldquo;crown&rdquo; design
-being especially so. This one did not please the owner, who had a second
-one made surmounted by an eagle instead of a crown. This is simpler in
-treatment and not so decorative as the earlier design. These plates were
-both cut on the copper by Mr. French who treated them in a very sympathetic
-manner and brought out in clear relief the ideas of the designer.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Tryon&rsquo;s production has not been great, reckoned by the number of
-plates made, but as his work is never done hurriedly or slightingly it carries
-an air of finished dignity and worth that gives it lasting qualities. As he
-usually has one or two plates in hand to which he adds a few lines and a few
-thoughts from time to time, we may still expect pleasant surprises in this
-miniature art from his workshop.</p>

-<h3>WILLIAM PHILLIPS BARRETT</h3>
-
-<p>In Great Britain every family of rank has its arms suitably emblazoned
-on its harnesses, carriages, table-plate, dining-chairs, and, of course, in its
-library. When a new coach is ordered, or a new set of harnesses, the
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>46]</a></span>
-coach-builder or the harness-maker furnish the proper trimmings. So
-milord&rsquo;s stationer fixes up the family letter-paper <em>and</em> the family book-plate.
-Somebody has to lick into some semblance of artistic unity the records of
-prowess of our medieval ancestors. In the workshops of Messrs. &ldquo;Bumpus
-Limited,&rdquo; Mr. William Phillips Barrett performs this more or less genial
-task. He has signed some ninety to one hundred designs, which were
-cut by the workmen in the Bumpus establishment. Mr. Barrett&rsquo;s designs
-are not wholly without merit, but they so apparently lack the spark of
-vitality and their execution is in many cases so hard and mechanical that one
-is inclined more to pity than to praise. In the pages of the London
-Ex Libris Journal, that industrious encourager of the ordinary and banal in
-book-plate design, Mr. Barrett&rsquo;s work is exploited at length. Vol. II.,

-<h3>ROBERT ANNING BELL</h3>
-
-<p>Robert Anning Bell, Director of the Art School of the Liverpool
-University, is the most prolific designer of artistic picture-plates in Great
-Britain. His work has long been the envy of amateurs, and no collection
-can claim to be representative without some examples of his work. His
-book-plates have been reproduced and commented on in almost all published
-articles on the general subject. The book-plate number of the
-&ldquo;Studio,&rdquo; Simpson&rsquo;s &ldquo;Book of Book-plates,&rdquo; Bowdoin&rsquo;s &ldquo;Rise of the Book-plate,&rdquo;
-Zur Westen&rsquo;s &ldquo;Ex Libris&rdquo; (Leipzig, 1901), all show examples.
-His work is characterized by dignity and grace, is in good drawing, and has
-an average of excellence unsurpassed. The list is complete to July 1, 1902.</p>

-<h3>THOMAS MAITLAND CLELAND</h3>
-
-<p>Mr. Cleland is a young man who has an innate appreciation for
-decorative effect and, what is more to the purpose, an ability to apply it.
-For some years past his skill in typographic arrangement has added much
-to the products of several of our more advanced publishers; by more
-advanced I mean those with a knowledge and belief that it is good business
-to offer to the public books that delight the eye as well as the mind. Mr.
-Cleland has done many decorative bits by way of head-&nbsp;and tail-pieces and
-initials. There are also to his credit a baker&rsquo;s dozen of book-plates. These
-last are intensely decorative, and to class them as pictorial really does them

-<h3>GORDON CRAIG</h3>
-
-<p>&ldquo;The Page&rdquo; has been so much exploited in the public press that it
-seems supererogation to write anything more about it or Gordon Craig, one
-the embodiment of the other. Mr. Craig is very much of an all-round
-young man; brought up in the atmosphere of the theater and of books
-and pictures, he has dabbled in all to some purpose. He has a clear-cut
-individuality that differentiates him and his&mdash;work, I was going say, but
-perhaps play would be better, for Mr. Craig is one of those inconsequential
-chaps that seem to take things as they come and be chipper and happy and
-youthful-hearted with all. His book-plate work is of the meat-ax variety
-and inspired by the rough wood-cuts of the early engravers. His work has
-the air of the poseur that is as balm to the heart of the dilettante.</p>

-<h3>JULIUS DIEZ</h3>
-
-<p>The work of Julius Diez is rich with the flavor of medievalism and
-full decorative effect. The example shown in this book, the plate for Max
-Ostenrieder, is a little masterpiece and an ideal book-plate. Mr. Diez has
-done others much more elaborate, and with well-drawn and well thought-out
-motifs, but none to excel the bit referred to.</p>

-<h3>GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS</h3>
-
-<p>Mr. Edwards has made a large number of very excellent book-cover
-designs and has decorated several volumes throughout. One of the most
-beautiful of the latter is Spenser&rsquo;s Epithalamion, published by Dodd,
-Mead &amp; Company. Mr. Edwards has done a few other book-plates in
-addition to those listed here, but these are all he wishes to stand sponsor for.</p>

-<h3>FRITZ ERLER</h3>
-
-<p>Fritz Erler has been one of the leading contributors to that prince of
-German art periodicals, &ldquo;Jugend,&rdquo; since its beginning. His book-plates are
-characterized by the same imaginative spirit and weirdness that appear in all
-his work. His work is often reproduced in soft tints with excellent effect.
-In the third volume of &ldquo;Jugend&rdquo; there was a double page given to prints
-of Mr. Erler&rsquo;s book-plates.</p>

-<h3>EDWIN DAVIS FRENCH</h3>
-
-<p>The book-plates of Edwin Davis French are the most esteemed of
-those of our present American engravers. His work is decidedly the
-vogue among those who can afford the best, and is much prized by collectors.
-There has rarely been an article on book-plates published in the
-past five years or more that has not contained a eulogy of his work, and
-there have been reproductions galore, both from the original coppers and
-by half-tone. There is no American designer whose work is so eagerly
-sought by the collector or for which larger returns are asked in exchanges.
-Mr. French usually designs the work he engraves, but in several instances
-he has cut plates from the designs of others. Such instances are noted in
-the list. Mr. French&rsquo;s work is characterized by daintiness of design and
-great beauty of execution. He is unquestionably a master of the graver
-in decorative work. In the following list those numbered 133 and below
-are from Mr. Lemperly&rsquo;s well-known list, and credit is hereby rendered him
-therefor. The rest of the list is made up from various sources and has
-been very carefully compared and is believed to be accurate and complete,
-with the few exceptions noted, to July 1, 1902.</p>

-<h3>BERTRAM G. GOODHUE</h3>
-
-<p>Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue is a Boston architect who has made
-several book-plates of merit. One made for a department of Harvard
-University is particularly rich in decorative effect, and a design of which
-one would not grow weary. Others of Mr. Goodhue&rsquo;s designs are treated
-in broad line and might have been reproduced very effectively by wood
-engraving.</p>

-<h3>HARRY E. GOODHUE</h3>
-
-<p>The few book-plates designed by Harry E. Goodhue are mostly of the
-&ldquo;girl and book&rdquo; type. In the plate for Jessy McClellan the young
-woman appears to be sorry she &ldquo;done it,&rdquo; or else is quite discouraged at the
-idea of lifting her folio romance into her lap. Mr. Goodhue&rsquo;s most pleasing
-design is that for Constance Alexander, shown on page 27.</p>

-<h3><span class="smcap">T.&nbsp;B. HAPGOOD, Jr.</span></h3>
-
-<p>Mr. Hapgood is a decorative designer in Boston, and his work on the
-covers of various periodicals and catalogs is well known. Plate No. 5
-was submitted in competition and took second prize. It has never been
-reproduced. No. 1 was reproduced in &ldquo;The Red Letter,&rdquo; No. 2 in the
-book-plate number of &ldquo;The Studio,&rdquo; as was also No. 4. No. 14 has not
-been reproduced. No. 15 was originally made as a printer&rsquo;s mark and was
-so used. It was later altered to serve as a book-plate.</p>

-<h3>HAROLD E. NELSON</h3>
-
-<p>Many of the figures in the book-plates by Harold Nelson are of the
-attenuated pre-Raphaelite type, but there are others one can believe
-really once lived. The frontispiece to the book-plate number of &ldquo;The
-Studio&rdquo; is a beautiful decorative bit by Mr. Nelson, and makes us quite
-willing to forgive him some of his more eccentric designs. The plate
-referred to is enhanced in beauty by a few lines of gold judiciously used.
-The musical plate on page 18 of this volume is a pleasing one.</p>

-<h3>EDMUND H. NEW</h3>
-
-<p>The book-plate designs by Mr. New are in a class by themselves. No
-one else has worked quite the field occupied by this artist. Mr. New has
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>58]</a></span>
-used architecture for the motifs of a series of unusually pleasing plates. He
-has treated in a most decorative way whole buildings as well as details, doorways,
-and so forth. His plates are particularly adapted to the dignified
-old houses that contain the libraries for which they were made. Mr.
-New has not limited himself to this field, as he has done a number
-of designs with no architectural suggestion. His work in book illustration
-and decoration is of a most delightful quality, and is well known to all
-lovers of black and white. A number of his book-plate designs were
-reproduced and commented upon in Simpson&rsquo;s &ldquo;Book of Book-plates,&rdquo; Vol.
-II., No. I. The book-plate number of &ldquo;The Studio&rdquo; also showed some
-of his designs. The list is in chronological order and complete.</p>

-<h3>HENRY OSPOVAT</h3>
-
-<p>Henry Ospovat is a young Russian artist residing in London. He
-has done some superb decorative work for the sonnets and poems of
-Shakespeare published by John Lane. His book-plates are precious bits of
-decoration worthy the adoration of all lovers of the beautiful. There have
-been only a few reproductions of them. The book-plate number of &ldquo;The

-<h3>ARMAND RASSENFOSSE</h3>
-
-<p>Armand Rassenfosse is a resident of Liege, therefore, presumably, a
-Belgian and a subject of the German Empire. But as stone walls do not
-always a prison make, so frontiers do not always mark the nationality of art
-and letters. Mr. Rassenfosse is distinctly French in his feeling and artistic
-point of view. Perhaps I should rather say Parisian, for it is of the Latin
-Quartier and the Beaux Arts that his work breathes. His designs are almost
-entirely of nude femininity and his method of expression the etching. He
-has made some eight or ten charming bits, full of life and chic&mdash;I was
-going to say, frou-frou, but that would be a misnomer, for his models are
-innocent of gowns or lingerie. Their spirit and beauty of execution is high,
-but as book-plate designs&mdash;well, it&rsquo;s a bit like champagne for breakfast.</p>

-<h3>LOUIS RHEAD</h3>
-
-<p>The illustrator of &ldquo;Pilgrim&rsquo;s Progress&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Idylls of the King&rdquo;
-needs no introduction to the average book-lover, and the hearts of the
-poster-collectors throb at his name. Mr. Rhead is an American of English
-birth and a resident of one of the suburbs of greater Gotham. His
-decorative work has been long and favorably known, and his book-plates
-can but add to his reputation. He has done but fifteen, and two of these
-are yet to be reproduced, but some examples of his work are in most
-collections.</p>

-<h3>BYAM SHAW</h3>
-
-<p>The one or two book-plate designs by Mr. Shaw that have been
-published show a magnificent imaginative conception and makes the lover
-of the beautiful ardently wish for &ldquo;more.&rdquo; The one for Isabella Hunter,
-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>60]</a></span>
-on page 216 of Vol. I. of the &ldquo;International Studio,&rdquo; is at the head of its
-class. Mr. Shaw&rsquo;s other line-drawings and his paintings have a richness
-and weirdness of design that is very attractive.</p>

-<h3>JOSEPH W. SIMPSON</h3>
-
-<p>Mr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, is a young Scotchman of infinite ambition
-and generous talent. He is not only a clever designer of book-plates, but
-he has a magazine to exploit his schemes and theories of art. This is
-reputed to be a quarterly, but it is erratic, like its sponsor, and issues &ldquo;once
-in a while.&rdquo; Mr. Simpson&rsquo;s designs are full of feeling and rich in
-treatment. About twenty-five of these have seen the light and are prized
-by the lovers of modernity.</p>

-<h3>HANS THOMA</h3>
-
-<p>Hans Thoma is a painter of national reputation in Germany who has
-thought it not beneath his dignity to do book-plate designs. This by
-way of recreation or to strengthen his line for more pretentious efforts.
-His designs are along classic and dignified lines. His own personal plate
-is a weird one; on it is a nude youth bearing the torch of knowledge and
-riding a gruesome dragon.</p>

-<h3>BERNHARD WENIG</h3>
-
-<p>Bernhard Wenig is a comparatively newcomer in the field of book-plate
-design, but he has already established for himself an enviable reputation
-in Germany, and his work is meeting with a growing appreciation by
-collectors in this country. Mr. Wenig&rsquo;s general manner is that of the old
-engraved wood block, bold and more or less crude of line, but full of virility.
-Most of his work is reproduced in black on white, but in a few instances he
-has used a color or two with good effect. His choice of subjects is varied,
-but the studious bookman of the middle ages seems to be uppermost in his
-heart and mind. Mr. Wenig has made one plate for a child, a small boy,
-that is among the best half-dozen of designs for children.</p>

-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other

-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this

- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project

-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.

- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid

-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
