From the Antioch Bookplate Archives — 1930s/1940s part 18 (Final)

This last group of designs introduced in the 1930s and 1940s includes several reworkings of older designs.

The text for F-685 was used in Mercury Series Y-4 and Sepia Series X-21 in the Antioch Bookplate catalogs, but the first instance of its use was in 1820.

G-9, with a quote by Emilie Poulsson, is a reworking of Rustcraft design R-67.

The red ornament on M-83 is a Socialist emblem, and the text is taken from a Ralph Chaplin poem, “Mourn Not the Dead.”

According to a note by Ernest Morgan, M-99 (also sold as D-11) was “Drawn, and formerly published by, the late Franklin Bittner.”
