Bookplates
ex libris: a book owner's identification label that is usually pasted to the inside front cover of a book: bookplate
These letterpress bookplates come in packs of five and make for the perfect gift. Each bookplate is adhesive and can be stuck to the inside of a book, the outside of a journal, or wherever else your heart desires.
In a world where Kindles are the new norm, bookplates are a way of celebrating the novelty of a handheld book.
Bookplates have been around since The Middle Ages. They began as functional items produced by stationery salesmen, later evolving into highly stylized labels created by artists. This transition led to the rise in affordability & popularization of the bookplate.
This bookplate design was adapted from a 1920s book cover by the Dutch artist Julie De Graag. Letterpress printed by hand here at The Aesthetic Union.
Pack of 5. Comes in blue, green, and pink
