From the blurb - "The British Museum holds one of the largest collections of bookplates in the world and is particularly rich in sixteenth-century ex-libris, which come mainly from the great bequests of A.W. Franks and M. Rosenheim. This catalogue, written in German, brings together and describes for the first time the outstanding sixteenth-century German and Austrian bookplates in the Museum, among which are works by Albrecht Dürer, Hans Burgkmair, Lukas Cranach and Jost Amman. Over 570 examples are discussed and reproduced, illustrating the different types of ex-libris, as well as later copies, reproductions and the nineteenth-century fashion for collecting bookplates. All works that entered the collection as ex-libris are covered, including printers’ marks, authors’ arms and title pages. Extensive indexes and a list of dated bookplates are also provided. Dr Ilse O’Dell is the author of various books and articles about sixteenth-century graphic art and book illustration. Elegant bookplate on front pastedown endpaper, Very Good in a dustwrapper which is faded around the spine.
