Elisa Coghlan<p>Satisfying visually and tactile-wise, bookplates are also catnip for those like me who relish puzzling out who might have read the book in hand (or listened to the old record on turntable). </p><p>A new digital exhibit of bookplates from Marquette University&#39;s library has just launched.

Elisa Coghlan<p>Two colleagues and I are on the hunt for bookplates in our collections for a minor virtual exhibit. It&#39;s been the most fun we&#39;ve had in a long time, and today, one of us hit gold: <br />A plate designed by Arthur Rackham himself, for the famed book collector George Lazarus. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Bookplates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bookplates</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Illustration</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ArthurRackham" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ArthurRackham</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GeorgeLazarus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeorgeLazarus</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Ephemera" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ephemera</span></a></p>
