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. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of Library of the Studio Club.} By Wm. - 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 -maintained at the present high standard. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of Bi Lauda.

Henry Foster.}] - - - - -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. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of James Dick.} By J.

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. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of Al Mockel.} From Drawing after Etching - by A.

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. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of Rachel Norton Tryon Stone.} By Thomas - Tryon] - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of Library of the Boys Club.} By Thomas - Tryon] - -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. - - [Illustration: {Book-plate, no name.}] - - [Illustration: {Book-plate of the Library of the Harvard Union.} By - B.

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 - Bertram G. Goodhue - Harry E. Goodhue - T. B. Hapgood, Jr. - Harold E. Nelson - Edmund H. New - Henry Ospovat - Armand Rassenfosse - Louis Rhead - Byam Shaw - Joseph W. Simpson - Hans Thoma - Thomas Tryon - Bernhard Wenig - - -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.

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.

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. - - Sara Stockwell Clark - Herbert Wood Adams - Laura Gaston Finley - Elmer Bragg Adams - Lewis W.

Sternberger - George Louis Beer - - -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. - - James Pryde, 1898 - M. P. (Margaret Palgrave) - Ellen Terry (large), map - Ellen Terry (small), map - K. D.

Wait - - -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. - - 174 Adams, Ruth - 141 Allen, Charles Dexter, 1899 - _a_ with portrait - _b_ with book-case - _c_ with one club emblem changed - 170 Alexander, Amy B. - 187 Adams, Frances Amelia, 1901 - 199 Adams, Edward Dean, 1902 - 207 Adams, Ernest Kempton, 1902 - 44 Alexander, Charles B., 1895 - 11 Andrews, William Loring, 1894 - 76 Andrews, William Loring, Compliments of, 1896 - 195 Adriance Memorial Library, Poughkeepsie, 1902 - 111 Armour, George Allison, 1898 - 98 Author's Club (designed by Geo.

GOODHUE - -Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue is a Boston architect who has made several -book-plates of merit.

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.

HAPGOOD, Jr. - -Mr. Hapgood is a decorative designer in Boston, and his work on the -covers of various periodicals and catalogs is well known.

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.

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. - - Mary L. Oldfield - Edith A.

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.

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. - - Alex. von Winiwarter - Alfred Lavachery, 1890 - M. R.

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. - - Gertrude Tozier Chisholm - James Henry Darlington - Samuel Moody Haskins - Le Roy W.

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. - - C. E. Pyke-Nott - Frank Lynn Jenkins - Isabella R. Hunter - Laurence Koe - Mr. Claye - - -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.

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.

EDGAR FISHER</h2> - -<p class="chapauthor">By W. G. BOWDOIN</p> -</div> - - -<p><span class="dropcap">T</span>HE 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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 237px;"> -<img src="images/bpt003.png" width="237" height="348" -alt="Book-plate of Library of the Studio Club" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 296px;"> -<img src="images/bpt004.png" width="296" height="503" -alt="Book-plate of Winifred Knight" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<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> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 266px;"> -<img src="images/bpt005.png" width="266" height="470" -alt="Book-plate of Maie Bruce Douglas" /> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 254px;"> -<img src="images/bpt006.png" width="254" height="477" -alt="Book-plate of Mary N. Lewis" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<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’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> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 229px;"> -<img src="images/bpt007.png" width="229" height="379" -alt="Book-plate of John Charles Gage" /> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 246px;"> -<img src="images/bpt008.png" width="246" height="412" -alt="Book-plate of Elizabeth Allen" /> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 231px;"> -<img src="images/bpt009.png" width="231" height="557" -alt="Book-plate of Leila H.

Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<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> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 282px;"> -<img src="images/bpt011.png" width="282" height="391" -alt="Book-plate of Samuel H.

Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<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> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 283px;"> -<img src="images/bpt013.png" width="283" height="430" -alt="Book-plate of Stanley Shepard" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<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> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 305px;"> -<img src="images/bpt014.png" width="305" height="496" -alt="Book-plate of Edna B. Stockhouse" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<p>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.</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 “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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 235px;"> -<img src="images/bpt015.png" width="235" height="374" -alt="Book-plate of Wm. Edgar Fisher" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm. Edgar Fisher</p> -</div> - -<p>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 maintained at the present high standard.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 166px;"> -<img src="images/bpt016.png" width="166" height="213" -alt="Book-plate of Bi Lauda" /> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 163px;"> -<img src="images/bpt017.png" width="163" height="213" -alt="Book-plate of Lula Thomas Wear" /> -<p class="caption">By Wm.

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 “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.</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—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 “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 -<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’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.</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’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.</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’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?</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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 -<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’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.</p> - -<p>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 <i>à 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’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.</p> - -<p>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.</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’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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 377px;"> -<img src="images/bpt039.png" width="377" height="637" -alt="Book-plate of James Dick" /> -<p class="caption">By J.

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—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">“A hair perhaps divides the false and true,</div> -<div class="i0">Yes; and a single slip were the clue—”</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—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 <i>tour de force</i> quite unforgivable.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 390px;"> -<img src="images/bpt075.png" width="390" height="684" -alt="Book-plate of Robert H. Smith" /> -<p class="caption">By H. Nelson</p> -</div> - -<p>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.</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><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>35]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 460px;"> -<img src="images/bpt076.png" width="460" height="700" -alt="Book-plate of Arthur Guthrie" /> -<p class="caption">By H.

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?”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 342px;"> -<img src="images/bpt078.png" width="342" height="476" -alt="Book-plate of John & Jessie Hoy" /> -<p class="caption">By H.

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.

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 -“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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 304px;"> -<img src="images/bpt084.png" width="304" height="359" -alt="" /> -<p class="caption">JAMES SEYMOUR TRYON<br /> -By Thomas Tryon</p> -</div> - -<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 “all-round” 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 “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.</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’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 -“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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 320px;"> -<img src="images/bpt086.png" width="320" height="327" -alt="Book-plate of Loyall Farragut" /> -<p class="caption">By Thomas Tryon</p> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 359px;"> -<img src="images/bpt087.png" width="359" height="358" -alt="Book-plate of George Elder Marcus" /> -<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 “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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 252px;"> -<img src="images/bpt088.png" width="252" height="287" -alt="Book-plate of Rachel Norton Tryon Stone" /> -<p class="caption">By Thomas Tryon</p> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 334px;"> -<img src="images/bpt089.png" width="334" height="494" -alt="Book-plate of Library of the Boys Club" /> -<p class="caption">By Thomas Tryon</p> -</div> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>43]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<div class="figcenternocap" style="width: 577px;"> -<img src="images/bpt090.png" width="577" height="270" -alt="Book-plate, no name" /> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>44]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 368px;"> -<img src="images/bpt091.png" width="368" height="572" -alt="Book-plate of the Library of the Harvard Union" /> -<p class="caption">By B.

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’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. “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.

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.

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.</p> - -<p class="names">Sara Stockwell Clark<br /> -Herbert Wood Adams<br /> -Laura Gaston Finley<br /> -Elmer Bragg Adams<br /> -Lewis W.

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.</p> - -<p class="names">James Pryde, 1898<br /> -M. P.

Wait</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’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.</p> - -<p class="names">174 Adams, Ruth<br /> -141 Allen, Charles Dexter, 1899<br /> -<span class="indent3"><i>a</i> with portrait</span><br /> -<span class="indent3"><i>b</i> with book-case</span><br /> -<span class="indent3"><i>c</i> with one club emblem changed</span><br /> -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[<span class="hidden">Pg </span>53]</a></span> -170 Alexander, Amy B.<br /> -187 Adams, Frances Amelia, 1901<br /> -199 Adams, Edward Dean, 1902<br /> -207 Adams, Ernest Kempton, 1902<br /> -<span class="indent1">44 Alexander, Charles B., 1895</span><br /> -<span class="indent1">11 Andrews, William Loring, 1894</span><br /> -<span class="indent1">76 Andrews, William Loring, Compliments of, 1896</span><br /> -195 Adriance Memorial Library, Poughkeepsie, 1902<br /> -111 Armour, George Allison, 1898<br /> -<span class="indent1">98 Author’s Club (designed by Geo.

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.

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.

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 “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.</p> - -<p class="names">Mary L.

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’s “Book of Book-plates,” Vol. -II., No. I. The book-plate number of “The Studio” also showed some -of his designs.

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.</p> - -<p class="names">Alex. von Winiwarter<br /> -Alfred Lavachery, 1890<br /> -M.

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 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.

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.</p> - -<p class="names">Baroness May v.
