No bookplates to show today. I started to look at holy cards and religious images in my ephemera loose leaf album and felt like sharing them with you. More often than not , I ask booksellers if they have a box of ephemeral items found in old books.Sometimes I get bookplates and sometimes I find items like these. In any event, it pays to ask.

Yesterday I got back from Hartford Papermania . Most of my purchases were not bookplates . I bought the image on the left depicting a mason . The image on the right, by the same artist was already in my collection. Does anyone out there have any information about the artist I.Busch ?

If you have found interesting ephemeral items in old books let me hear from you and I will include your treasures in a future posting.

No info on the artist Busch, but it seems there are some more in the market. Through Antiqbook (www.antiqbook.com) I found a couple on sale by Harteveld Rare Books Ltd in section Holy Card.
