BOOK PLATES.
Their Invention Came Half a Century
After the Printing Press.


1t was within half a century from
the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as identifying
marks to indicate the ownership of
the volume
Germany, the fatherland of printing
from movable type and of wood cut
ting for making impressions in in; on
paper, is likewise the home land of
the book plate.
The earliest dated wood cut CT ac-
cepted authenticity is the well known
st. Christopher of 1923" which was
discovered in the Carthusian moaas-
terry of Buxheim in Suabia.
1t was to insure the right of owner
ship in book that the owner had it
marked with the coat-of-arms of the
family or some other heraldic device.
Libraries were kept intact and passed
from generation to generation, bear
ing the emblem of the family.
The first book plate in France is
dated 1874; in Sweden, 1875; Switzer-
land, 1907; and Italy, 1923. The earli-
est English book plate is found in a
folio volume once the property OF, Car.
dinal Wolsey and afterward belonging
tn his royal master
The earliest mention of the book
plate in English literature is by
Pepys, July 16, 1858. The first known
book plate in America belonged to
Gov. Dudley Paul Revere, the pa
triot, was one of the first American
engravers of book plates and design
er of great ability.
