A group of nine bookplates by Lionel Lindsay
Slight traces of earlier mounting to the versos of three plates; a couple of trifling marks to two plates; overall, in excellent condition.
All the bookplates are recorded by Peake. They are for Hans Heysen, Peter Lindsay, Jim Tyrrell, Camden Morrisby, W. Halberg, J.W. Gellert, C.F. Wymark, R.H. Croll and Keith Wingrove. The last two are process prints; the others are wood engravings.

It states that Lindsay 'produced some sixty Book Plates between 1911 and 1958'. Provenance: H.B. (Harry) Muir (1909-1992), bookseller, publisher and bookplate collector; by descent. [11 items].
