| This bookplate is my latest work in woodcut in the style of the fifteenth
century. I have cut blocks and printed them as an intermittent hobby for fifteen years as a way of exploring one of the arts of the late medieval book. I occasionally cut a block just because an image pleases me, but more often for some specific use - a wedding invitation, a New Year's card, and so on. My largest project to date has been a deck of cards, some of which are shown in this small exhibition. I am interested in working next on more bookplates, basing them on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century bookplates and on printers' marks.
