Very nice bookplates Bill.

My favorite is the crow example.I remember Odal mentioning a crow he used to have as a childhood pet and how smart it was.These birds are so cool and mythical with their mannerisms,looks,and sounds.

That cannibalism exlibris is definately bizarre with books being used to fuel the soup's fire and the two demons rising from the smoke and steam with funnels on their heads as the satanic figures look in their glory spurring on the evil.

It's interesting how so many of these really cool bookplates belonged to doctors.
Maybe because they had the money to afford these extra luxuries or maybe it was how they saw life through different eyes due to dealing with life and death on a daily basis.

Thanks for posting these beautiful plates and also the kind words of encouragement on my modest,low budget collection.

Adding to the thread, I'm adding another student league card posted in 1919.
Including the student league marking on back because of your recent post.
