April. 2013

I have received seven pen and ink bookplates from Polish bookplate and heraldic  artist TOMASZ STEIFER. I have chosen four here to illustrate Tomasz's inspired work. His style is a mixture of influences by the old Continental bookplate masters of the 17thC  and also a more modern style of plate that can be seen in the 'tree of shields'. I must say Tomasz's designs are very pleasing to the eye.

I am pleased to receive the bookplates of Vernon Christopher Rolls. Designed by the late Daniel de Bruin and based on the College of Arms grant of June 1, 2001. The badge reflects the design of crests born by the families of Rolle of Lewknor, Oxfordshire, UK (descended from Rolle later Baron Rolle, of Stevenston ........... 'the hand proper holding a Roll of Vellum bendwise sinister argent ......... A very nice 'pun' on the name Rolls.
