A115 – Owen Wise bookplate design with poem

Product Description

This design — with its verse celebrating the joys of books — was introduced by the Antioch Bookplate Company in the 1940s. The verse was written by Emilie Poulson, an author of children’s books. Owen Wise designed the artwork, which was originally printed in brown and yellow.
