Historical Note
Bookplates started as basic inscriptions during the Middle Ages. The earliest known printed bookplate is dated circa 1450. Over time, bookplates were commissioned, often works of art, full of character and symbolism.
Today, they are valued for their historical interest, providing provenance to many rare and antiquarian books.
