Notes The Charles Fyfe who owned this bookplate, was likely the contractor from Montreal, Canada. Originally born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Fyfe became a citizen upon moving to Canada. Later in life, he moved to Florida, where he passed away in 1945. The printed text on the back of this plate indicates that it was a commercially produced design by the company Rust Craft. Founded in Kansas City in 1906, the company moved to Boston in 1913. While they eventually grew to become one of the dominate businesses in the greeting card industry, they also made bookmarks, postcards and bookplates. Although marketed and sold by a large company, it seems that this bookplate was initialed by the original artist. The initials 'R. P.' are visible under magnification in the bottom right hand corner, under what appears to be an artist's remarque.
