Description

Triangular shaped bookplate for the library of James Robinson Smith. This unusual bookplate seems to have been designed to serve as an unobtrusive mark of ownership. Unlike some of the designs exhibited here which require only that a name be printed in a blank space, the owner's name is integral to this unique design.
