The earliest known example, dated to 1480, is the bookplate of Hilprand Brandenburg, a Carthusian monk. At first, most bookplates were designed to safeguard the property of nobles; thus, they were adorned with coats of arms and other indicators of inherited prestige. This was the case through the 18th century, though styles changed with artistic trends. The 19th century saw the rise of the middle class. Scholars, professionals, and other educated individuals became interested in bookplates and commissioned works in a pictorial vein. Since then, ex libris have been used to denote personal property, and as a form of personal expression. Since ex-libris stamps were generally never seen by the public, the artwork varied tremendously from intimate erotic scenes to darkly expressionistic styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for supporting my small business.","brand":"Ebon et Noir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39477363114082,"sku":"3YPJWLzpg2VOlxVO","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/1094\/6612\/products\/217f2b90-9ffe-5539-b500-3843ba8d3895.jpg?v=1637019178"},{"product_id":"celestial-journey-personalized-ex-libris-bookplates-crafted-on-traditional-gummed-paper-3in-x-4in-set-of-30","title":"Celestial Journey, Personalized Ex-Libris Bookplates, Crafted on Traditional Gummed Paper, 3in x 4in, Set of 30","description":"CELESTIAL JOURNEY BOOKPLATES, Exclusively Designed and Handcrafted by Ebon et Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuard your treasured books with these celestial bookplates featuring a starry sky and angel wings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBookplates are ideal for safeguarding the volumes in your library and make a unique and thoughtful gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBookplates are crafted on 50# White English Finish Gummed Paper and hand-cut to size.
