One day, I would like to have a fancy engraved bookplate for the books that I will refer to as "my library." Here are three inspiring ex libris collections online that I like to look at when I start wistfully dreaming of my future bookplate: Pratt Libraries Ex Libris Collection, The University of Louisville's Ainslie Hewett Bookplate Collection (all of which were designed by Ainslie Hewett) and the Plattsburgh State Art Museum's archive of bookplates designed by Rockwell Kent. One of my favorites is Winward Prescott's plate from Pratt collection (pictured above).
