Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores 'Ex-Libris' or bookplates through a historical lens, encompassing their evolution from the 16th century to the French Revolution. As a record of personal libraries, the author observes how bookplates were a reflection of their owners' character, pretentions, and social standing. The book investigates the ways in which they can be understood as an extension of the book itself, reflecting trends in art, engraving, decoration, and culture. Ultimately, the author shows how bookplates, often dismissed as mere curios, are actually a rich source of information about the history of reading and the social and cultural values of past centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259514510_0
