Reading Room Collection · An engraved owl on books inside an oval of ferns and oak
A wise owl for your library books
Collectors used to paste engraved bookplates inside their favourite volumes to mark them as their own. This design borrows that tradition and its patient, detailed style. It feels learned and gently old-fashioned.
The print
A tawny owl perches on a small pile of books inside an oval frame, surrounded by ferns, oak leaves and acorns. Every line is drawn like a fine copperplate engraving in bottle green and antique gold on ivory. There is no lettering, so the bookplate is yours to imagine. Dark green handles finish it.
