Ex-Libris : The Art of the Bookplate
With an estimated one million individual bookplate specimens, dating from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, the Yale Bookplate Collection is one of the largest such collections in the world. The collection serves as a significant resource for the study of bookplates as well as that of biography and histories of the book, art and design, and collecting. In addition to bookplates, the selections on view include process materials, original sketches, correspondence, publications, and other related printed ephemera.
[ Your Name Here ] : The Ex-Libris & Image Making will be on view at the Robert B. Haas Art Library at Yale University through August 17, 2012.
