Bookplates with Illustrations from Old Children's Books and More

I've been making bookplates with illustrations from old children's books and other illustrations. They include the original illustrations from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the original Wizard of Oz books, and the classic children's stories of Thornton W. Burgess:


Bookplates with the original illustrations from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Including Alice and the Cheshire Cat.


Bookplates with illustrations from the original Wizard of Oz books

Including the Tin Woodman (as he was called in the original book series), Scarecrow, Dorothy, and her cat Eureka.


Bookplates with illustrations from the classic children's stories of Thornton W. Burgess

Including Grandfather Frog, Sammy Jay, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Whitetail the Marsh Hawk.


More Bookplates

Including the famous "Inverted Jenny" upside-down biplane postage stamp error of 1918, and an 1865 engraving of a spectacularly grotesque 1645 painting featuring an exceptionally hideous demon.
