Sidney Hunt's 1925 bookplate was made for Bella C. Landauer, a New York collector whose name, set into a bookplate, marked the volumes in her library as hers. Bookplates like this one were small engraved or printed labels pasted inside a book's cover, and they gave owners a way to announce ownership while signaling taste. Landauer's interest in books and early printed material is the context that makes this design worth looking at closely, since its imagery and lettering show how collectors used a few square inches of paper to present themselves.
