Nude With Book, Personalized Ex-Libris Bookplates, Crafted on Traditional Gummed Paper, 3in x 4in, Set of 30

NUDE WITH BOOK BOOKPLATE, Handcrafted by Ebon et Noir Guard the tomes in your library with these beautiful bookplates featuring a woodcut of a nude beneath a shady bower. Originally illustrated by Josef Hodek, this design dates back to the 1900s. Bookplates are ideal for safeguarding the volumes in your library and make a unique and thoughtful gift. Bookplates are crafted on 50# White English Finish Gummed Paper and hand-cut to size. Gummed paper is coated with an adhesive backing that requires water to activate (similar to traditional stamps). Once the adhesive is activated, the paper will adhere to the front pastedown of your book. Historically, bookplates have been printed on gummed paper for various reasons. First, the glue is water-soluble and can be removed by steaming or wetting without damaging your book. Second, gummed paper dries flat and without residue, eliminating the waste of sticker adhesive backings. Third, the finished bookplate has a refined look and feel. ITEM D
