Ex Libris

Seldom have I seen a coat-of-arms that I didn't like... make that love. One of Eric Kass's pin-boards, includes images of vintage Ex Libris book plates and I covet them all. See more amazing "From the Library of" examples here... 

What a wonderful name!

In love with this one

Let alone lay eyes on THE dress and all those jewels.

Queen Vic would be proud.
