[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 57693, member: 56"]Seems to have been a bookplate designer. The signature does look to match the name. What a ponderous description! "The fantastic lure of the negro"? I wish whoever typed the description had cleaned the letter "e". ********** I see I was taking "fantastic lure of the negro" out of context. It is the rabbit's foot that is the fantastic lure of the negro. So much better. Maybe this was an advertising piece, or a portfolio sample intended to show the depth of his designs. It's a cool item and I'm sure would be very desirable to a bookplate collector.[/QUOTE]
