Notes |
Gertrude Elliott, most likely the owner of this bookplate, was an American children's book illustrator who worked for Little Golden Books in the 1940s ; most notably, in 1951 she co-authored 'Two Little Gardeners' with Margaret Wise Brown, the author of the classic book 'Goodnight Moon.' Rustcraft USA was a greeting card company based in Massachusetts who, in addition to cards, produced mass-market bookplates.The company was established in 1906 and merged with Norcross Greeting Cards in 1981. There is another Rustcraft plate in the Thomas Murray Collection, belonging to Charles Fyfe.
