Two bookplates by Lloyd Rees, designed for Frederick C.V. Lane and Rosamond [Rosamund] P.A. Lane

These large plates (image size approximately 130 × 95 mm) are offset lithographs printed in sepia ink (circa 1927); one has a few spots of pale foxing, and some light creases to the margins; overall, in excellent condition.

Peake 3066 and 3078 respectively. Lloyd Frederic Rees (1895-1988) is far better known for his early pencil drawings, his award-winning landscapes, and his late etchings and lithographs. Frederick Claude Vivian Lane (1879-1969), a master printer, was the compiler of 'The Bookplates of Norman Lindsay', published by Harry Muir's Wakefield Press in Adelaide in 1944; Rosamund was his wife. In an earlier life, he was a world-champion swimmer and Olympic gold medallist.

Provenance: H.B. (Harry) Muir (1909-1992), bookseller, publisher and bookplate collector; by descent. [2 items].
