[Unidentified bookplate.]
G. Haines Delin. W.H. Toms Sculp. 1752.
Engraved bookplate, part 18th century watermark. 160 x 115mm (6¼ x 4½") very large margins. Two tears in left margin, old ink mss. in bottom margin.
The ink manuscript describes the armorial as 'Sterne's arms', probably because of the bird above; however, although Laurence Sterne's arms is surmounted by a starling, they also include a chevron between three crosslets flory sable. Certainly these trophies appear to be too martial for a writer.
[Ref: 45252] £140.00 (£168.00 incl.VAT)
