Bookplates, for use


Susan cleaned up a couple bookplates I'd photographed in old books--took out the handwriting, so they can be printed for use. 

I'd posted this sower on FB, and people had guessed it was by Rockwell Kent. Finally found the artist this morning---the somewhat similar printmaker Lynd Ward created this bookplate in the 1940s. I found it and several other Ward bookplates in this blog post from the Smithsonian. (It's in their collection.)
