Exhibit caption (2014): Artist Edward Penfield carved this elegant bookplate for himself during the heyday of the medium. Bookplates were not only pasted into books, they were actively collected and traded. Ruthven Deane, a lawyer by trade and bird watcher and bookplate collector by hobby, assembled a fine collection of close to 15,000 plates. That collection, in combination with plates donated by the American Society of Bookplate Collectors and Designers, still an active organization, makes the Library a destination for researching and enjoying these small prints.
