Charles Chaplin is the figure this illustration centers on, so it belongs with the film-history prints on the board, though it is a book-related piece rather than a still from a movie. Bookplates, the small printed labels pasted inside a book's cover to show ownership, were a popular place for artists to show off a personal emblem or portrait, and an illustration built around Chaplin reflects how fully his image had spread into popular culture. Chaplin's Little Tramp character, with his bowler hat, cane and baggy trousers, made him one of the most recognizable faces of the silent era, so a bookplate that uses him as its subject is worth a closer look.
