Description: One of a group of antique / vintage bookplates we're listing this week; many signed by the artist; some woodblock, etching, etc.; many AustralianOriginal vintage bookplates ca. 1920s-1930s Five signed in pencil by noted Australian bookplate collector and artist Percy Neville Barnett ~ excellent, near fine condition overall (the small Jim Tyrell plate not by Barnett but included, gratis, since there is a James Tyrell by Barnett) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Percy Neville Barnett (1881–1953) was an Australian collector of, and authority on, bookplates. He is best known for his promotional role during the 1920s and 1930s when bookplates enjoyed a resurgence of interest in Australasia, Europe, and the United States. He wrote, designed and privately published more than twenty limited-edition books. In 1923 Barnett became involved in the conception and formation of an Australian Bookplate Society. Through both his personal collection and publications Barnett traced the progress of the Australian bookplate tradition by analyzing their formal and stylistic development both historically and aesthetically. Although they had been present in Australia from the very first days of European settlement, bookplates remained an expensive and exclusive item reserved only for the literati, missionaries, military officers, government officials, the occasional landed gentlemen and those who could afford personal libraries.~ Postage via Ground Advantage with tracking ~~ If buying more than one item, please wait for our invoice to pay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please see our other original vintage photographs, antique books and ephemera.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please Read the Following Terms:Buyers in the States: Unless other arrangements are discussed and agreed upon before a listing ends, we require communication and/or payment within four days after the end of a sale or we will have to open a non-paying buyer case.
