Title [Bookplate for William Hall Walker by F.]
Creator F.
Date Created [between 1856 and 1933]
Description Dense with imagery, this bookplate consists of a central framed coat of arms, surrounded by many symbols and figures, including a rose, a portcullis, a bird, a small argent escutcheon charged with a lion rampant, a thistle, military insignia, mounted hunting spoils, an anchor, rifles, swords, polo mallets, horseracing emblems, horse carriage hook-up, foliage, tree branches, and knights on horseback. The knight on the left sits upon an armored sable horse, holds a lance in his right arm, and wears a cornucopia crested helmet. The knight on the right sits upon a unarmored white horse and holds a white flag in his right hand, on which is the image of a tree and fox on a circular white and azure (blue) background. The coat of arms, presented within a border of grape vines and under the motto 'By Care and Industry', consists of a white horse and stag as supporters, with juxtaposed garbe, proper. The escutcheon, argent, contains both a chief and saltier. The chief is argent (silver), with two argent mullets of six points and garbe, proper. The saltier, argent, is charged with eight seedlings eradicated and a stag's head, erased, at its centre. Atop the shield is a baron's coronet and helmet, grated and in profile, crested by a wreath and cornucopia.

Notes This is the bookplate of Colonel William Hall Walker, 1st Baron Wavertree, (1856-1933), a British businessman, art collector and a figure of prominence in the world of Thoroughbred racehorse breeding. In 1900, he established what would soon become a highly successful stud farm, and in 1916, presented his entire bloodstock to the British Government with a view to improving cavalry horses. This gift would become the basis for the National Stud of the United Kingdom. In 1919, William Hall Walker was created 1st Baron Wavertree. Upon his death in 1933, the barony became extinct. This bookplate was used for an Amphora article written in April 2007.
