Notes |
Damaged paper where bookplate owner name is situated. Printing technique possibly by lithograph, a transfer from intaglio. Bookplate carries characteristics of an intaglio print but also printed on very fine paper, uncharacteristic of an intaglio print ; remnants of a line border also remain uncharacteristic of an intaglio print. There is also a flatness of paper and ink, which indicate a planographic technique.
