Count Dracula 2026 Bookplate

Added my "Count Dracula 2026" to a bookplate over in my Azure Lion Productions Zazzle Store.
Since Dracula is a literary character, seemed appropriate to have him on a bookplate.

A bee-themed (but unidentified) #bookplate, in a five-volume edition of the letters of Zacharias Konrad von Uffenbach (1683-1734), printed at Ulm in 1753-56. A great collector of books, he visited Cambridge and its libraries in the early eighteenth century. @theulspeccoll.bsky.social XVII.11.33-37.

I so enjoyed visiting the Salmagundi Club for the first time, after having helped them a bit with their #bookplate exhibition.

Ex-Libris para mi amiga María.

Ella tenía claro que quería que apareciesen sus animales: su perra «Trufa» y sus gatas «Micaela» y «Ginebra».

La idea era replicar un poco la composición de «Los músicos de Bremen» y añadir un monograma con sus iniciales.

The owl in this #bookplate (probably made in the 1920s) has made my day! Not sure who C. F. (or G. F.) Smith are but it’s in Paul Gsell’s edition of Anatole France, ‘Les matinées de la villa Saïd’ (Paris, 1921). Newly catalogued @theulspeccoll.bsky.social CCD.81.119.

Photo showing a gray block of linoleum carved with the reverse image of an owl standing atop two books with the phrase “Whose Book?”. The name of the creator, Diandra Mae, is in the spine of one of the books. A black stamp image on white paper is also shown, as well as the red and yellow handled carving tool.

A black, yellow, and white illustration of an owl with its head tilted to the side. The phrase “Whose Book?” Floats next to the owl as it sits atop two books. A full yellow moon floats behind the scene, framing the owl.

My latest #printmaking class assmt was to design a #bookplate. I was going traditional w/ “Ex Libris,” but the owl pun could not be denied.
Here’s my key block, a stamp test(checking for chatter), and one of the two-color prints. Registration is challenging.😅

A bookplate with a black and white illustration of a dagger pinning a tattered note to a wall. The note reads: This Book Belongs to. There is a space below the text for a person to write their name.

A photo of a bookplate adhered to a blank page of a vintage book.

Bookplate design I made that was inspired by fantasy stories. A warning sign posted with a rusty old dagger through it is iconic. Felt fitting for a bookplate.
