One last bookplate which is so charming I have to provide some comments (See the other ones here, here and here.)

This is the bookplate (or ex libris) of German politician, lawyer and Enlightenment figure Johann Daniel von Olenschlager (1711-1778), It depicts an ideal of a library which is made clear already in the Latin motto inscribed in the elaborate, Rococo frame, which translated into something like “I wish to be both useful and to be of enjoyment.” 

The depicted library room is an open loggia covered with a roomy vault. The side walls are entirely covered by bookshelves, giving that pleasant, comfortable impression of being lost in a sea of reading material. The floor, we may imagine, is a cool stone floor - because at the rear end, the loggia opens generously to a gorgeous Baroque garden. The shadows falling from the pillars to the left, the fountain trickling  and the garland having from the roof to frame the entrance all give away a vague feeling of an eternal summer day. Pruned trees, a gravel path and a balustraded stair emanate an atmosphere of peace and order. Two figures move towards us from the garden; we can almost hear the bright voices of our friends approaching. In a few moments they will be with us, laughingly teasing us to finally drop our books and get out into the sunshine with them. I wouldn’t mind at all.

Journey into the unknown with 'Living on the Edge' Ex-Libris Bookplates, finely crafted on traditional gummed paper. These bookplates feature a daring knight on horseback, poised at the very precipice of an adventure. 

Sydney Hunt, the visionary gay artist, brought this design to life in 1921. With its rich history and bold portrayal of a knight's fearless spirit, 'Living on the Edge' resonates with those who embrace life's challenges.

Managed to get some time to sit down and make a birthday present for a friend who is always lending me books (and doesn't use IG 🤞) Kept it simple as I haven't done anything creative in months and don't even remember when I made a lino print last? 5 years? More? Husband plans to make a wooden mount and handle for it. ☺️ #exlibris #exlibrisstamp #lino #linoprint #handmadegifts #anticonsumerism (at Douglas, Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGKxADslDy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
