Few personal bookplates name their owner as plainly as this one, which carries Anita Loos's name beside the profile of a woman. Loos, who wrote the screenplays for many silent films and the 1925 novel *Gentlemen Prefer Blondes*, would have pasted a label like this inside the front cover of the books in her library to mark them as hers. Ex libris designs were a popular way for early twentieth-century readers to personalize their collections, often pairing a name with an emblem or figure drawn to suggest the owner's tastes. Look at the line work of the profile for the kind of fine detail that made these small prints collectible.
