A small printed label bearing the name of Philip C. Kauffmann, showing a man settled in an armchair with a book, sets this piece apart from the other library scenes on the board. Ex libris plates like this were pasted inside a book's front cover to mark its owner, and collectors often chose designs that reflected their reading habits or personal interests. Such bookplates were especially popular from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when a private library was a matter of personal pride. Notice how the figure and chair suggest quiet, absorbed study.
