Over at Buzzfeed … bookplates of famous people. Hard to make a choice among the cosmic, the tasteful, the vulgar, the odd, the obvious, the outré – but here goes.
The cosmic… Albert Einstein
The unexpected … Bette Davis
The self-aggrandizing… Greta Garbo
The elegant (with such a name, how could it be otherwise?) … Oliver Wendell Holmes
Because she’s the Queen … Victoria
Because we love lions… Charles Dickens
Check out the bookplates of Benito Mussolini, Woodrow Wilson, H.G. Wells, William Butler Yeats, Maurice Sendak, and many others here.
