[58 bookplates by Rudolph Ruzicka]

Oh, Rudolph Ruzicka, how do we love thee? Let we count the ways. First, we’ll start (and end) with these fifty-eight bookplates he designed. This is a lovely showcase of lettering, typography, and illustration, each the work of an innovative pro. Made for a variety of collections public and private, including Harvard, Dartmouth, the Boston Athenaeum, the BPL, Princeton, and, of course, Wichita State University Library. A sweet collection showing what can be done with taste and thoughtful care. Just delightful.
