Girl Reading Bookplate, circa 1927

 

Black and white illustration of a girl sitting on a chair with a book, with a doll and more books on the floor; a bookplate


   I was intrigued by this bookplate, found in a copy of “Everything and Anything” by Dorothy Aldis, published in 1927.  I love the little girl reading, the doll sitting patiently, the scattered books. I see bookplates in books fairly often but this is the first one that I just had to save and share!

   Just for fun I removed little Marjory's name and enhanced the image a bit, so it's all ready for being used as a bookplate again...or maybe taking on new life as a craft element.  

  Remember to click on the image for a larger version and then save. And enjoy!
