American book-plates, a guide to their study with examples ... With a bibliography by Eben Hewins ... Illustrated with many reproductions of rare and interesting book-plates and in the finer editions with many prints from the original coppers both old and recent
A collector's handbook and bibliography of American bookplates by Charles Dexter Allen, with Eben Newell Hewins, published by Macmillan in New York in 1905 for bibliophiles, heraldry students and plate collectors. The plates reproduce engraved armorial bookplates in line: shields with charges such as anchors, scallops and chevrons, crests on barred helms, mantling and rococo scrollwork, motto ribbons, and owners' engraved signatures, useful for crests, cartouche frames and banner devices.
