This Week In Bookplates 4/14/2012- Part Two

This is another plate purchased from  Black Swan books during the A.B.A.A show
. I believe it to be English and Mr.Cameron appears to be an entomologist.
.The meaning of the other strange illustrations is unknown to me.

4/19/2012- Fellow Collector Anthony Pincott has sent the following additional information:
" Cedric W Cameron as Cedric Wilson Cameron (1891-1957). He was born in West Derbyshire, married twice, in 1914 and 1937, and died aged 65 at Liskeard, Cornwall, but I have not located any books by him, nor anything more about him."

I bought the red plate from  Gary Austin at the "Shadow Show"

Gary  will be promoting a book show in Buffalo, New York on May 19th and 20th

In spite of the unsightly black imprints it is one of the nicest universal bookplates I have ever seen. I wish I knew more about the artist and the company that sold them. This must have been in a sales catalog

Tom Boss had many tempting bookplates.Two of the plates I purchased from him were English.
The engraved plate for Torrence Hunt was done by A. J. Downey

The engraved plate for Sybil Waller was done by her father  Pickford Waller.

I do not remember who sold me the engraved plate for Junius Penny Smith. Does anyone out there
know who designed it ?

The Sandhill Farm- Life School plate was drawn by Philip O. Palmstrom in 1921

If you are a regular reader you may recall that I am particularly interested in Judaica bookplates.
The Jewish Theological Seminary.  has digitized an enormous collection of Judaica bookplates.
It is overwhelming and I am only halfway through volume one.
