A bookplate rather than a photograph, this small printed label was pasted inside the front covers of books belonging to the Alfred Dodge Cole Library of Physics, marking them as part of a dedicated physics collection. Bookplates like this one were a common way for private collectors, scientists and institutions to claim ownership of volumes and to signal the subject area of a library. Its design, with the library's name set in a formal typeface, reflects the conventions of early twentieth-century book ownership. Worth noticing is how such a modest label records the scholarly collecting habits of its time.
