SALOMONS, David -- Proof copies of Sir David Salomons' bookplate, 13 variants (plate size 127mm x 100mm), mounted and bound together, with examples of the 1st - 5th, and the final states including 2 on Japanese vellum and 2 in miniature (plate size 53mm x 36mm), bound with pages from the Ex Libris Journal for October 1908, contemporary green morocco by Bumpus, t.e.g. from the libraries of Salomons and Kenyon with their respective bookplates.
Although signed W.P.B., the plate is engraved by Robert Osmond (1874-1959) and he is known to have done almost half the bookplate work for Bumpus, despite William Barrett's initials on all the Bumpus plates. [North Lee British Bookplates 167]
