Belgian artist GAUDAEN, Gerard - Ex-libris - Bookplate - Printmaking

Ex-libris is a small print (or "miniature print"), which is produced by printing. To complete a bookplate, you must first design a distinctive pattern or text, and display the name of the book collector on the ticket to serve as a label for the bookplate, and then affix the printed bookplate to the back cover of the book In addition to being used as special illustrations for bibliophiles, pages can also increase the artistic value of books. Therefore, since the 15th century, bookplates have been known as "printmaking pearls" and "paper Gemstone". Gerard Gaudaen Gaudaen is a Belgian artist born in 1927.
