An ex-libris bookplate is a small printed label pasted inside a book to mark its owner, and this one belonged to Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, the Valencian novelist, journalist and politician. Blasco Ibáñez was a prolific collector of books, and his personal plates were used to claim volumes for his library, which he built up over his career as a writer and publisher. Bookplates like this one are useful to researchers because they trace how a private collection moved between owners and how a writer's reading shaped his work. Look closely at the decorative framing and the motto, which were chosen to reflect the owner's identity as much as the library itself.
