Octopus, Personalized Ex-Libris Bookplates, Crafted on Traditional Gummed Paper, 3in x 4in, Set of 30

OCTOPUS BOOKPLATES, Exclusively Designed and Handcrafted by Ebon et Noir Guard the volumes in your library with these unusual bookplates featuring a very literate octopus. This beautiful design dates back to 1904. Bookplates are ideal for safeguarding the volumes in your library and make a unique and thoughtful gift. Bookplates are crafted on 50# White English Finish Gummed Paper and hand-cut to size. Gummed paper is coated with an adhesive backing that requires water to activate (similar to traditional stamps). Once the adhesive is activated, the paper will adhere to the front pastedown of your book. Historically, bookplates have been printed on gummed paper for a variety of reasons. First, the glue is water-soluble and can be removed by steaming or wetting without damaging your book. Second, gummed paper dries flat and without residue and eliminates the waste of sticker adhesive backings. Third, the finished bookplate has a refined look and feel. ITEM DETAILS • Dimensions: 4in
