Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ladies' Book-Plates: An Illustrated Handbook for Collectors and Book-Lovers In this little monograph an attempt has been made to trace the history of women's plates and to give some account of those ex-libris which seem to call for special attention, either from the interest attached to the owners, or for the intrinsic merit of the designs. With the assistance of many well known collectors, a list of ladies' plates has been drawn up, and however imperfect and faulty, as the first of such lists must always be, it is hoped that it may yet prove useful to collectors of these dead leaves. In describing a lady's plate, armorial has always been employed to signify that the arms are on a simple lozenge, in every other case the words shield or oval have been added. The correct inscription on each plate, as far as can be ascertained, is printed in italics in the list. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ladies Book Plates An Illustrated Handbook for Collectors and Book Lovers written by Norna Labouchere and published by Earle Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1895. Introduction: For four hundred years the fashion for Ex libris has waxed and waned. The eighteenth century witnessed, perhaps, its most glorious phase. Although at present, there is a universal revival of the art, in some ways the modern book-plate is found wanting. This is certainly not from lack of inventive and imaginitive power on the part of the designer, but from the inferior methods of modern processes, which often spoil the work of the artist......This comprehensive guide is extensively illustrated throughout and will appeal greatly to any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completing Juliette Wells' groundbreaking trio of books on Austen's readers, this latest volume revolutionizes our understanding of how Austen came to be viewed as the world's greatest novelist. Wells shows that Austen's global reputation was established not by British scholars, as is commonly believed, but by visionary American writers and collectors, working largely outside academia. Drawing on extensive research, Wells weaves together colorful, compelling case studies of men and women who, from the 1880s to the 1980s, helped readers appreciate Austen's novels, persuasively advocated for her place in the literary canon, and preserved artifacts vital to her legacy. Engagingly written and abundantly illustrated, A New Jane Austen will inform and delight scholars and Austen fans alike.
