W26 – Scherenschnitte dandelion bookplate

Product Description

This popular bookplate features beautiful Scherenschnitte artwork of a dandelion, introduced by the Antioch Bookplate Company in the early 1960s. According to Antioch founder Ernest Morgan, this was a “scissor cut-out (Scherenschnitte) design by the Swiss artist, Walter Von Gunten, the finest scherenschnitte artist of which we know. The von Gunten designs were originally produced by Von Gunten Originals of Madison, Wisconsin, on greeting cards.”
