Bookplates By J.W. Jameson
* John William Jameson (1882-1939) used remarques more than any of the other American bookplate designers. They helped him to make a living during the economic turbulence of the 1930's

I never realized until I examined this proof that Elizabeth Diamond not only collected bookplates but also was a talented artist.
Definition:
(noun) - A remarque is a small, personalized drawing or symbol that an artist adds (near his or her signature) on a print. The presence of a remarque increases the print's value.
Originally, remarques were remarks made, in pencil, that identified the various stages a printing plate went through while in the process of being finalized. Whistler seems to have pioneered making remarques desirable to collectors, particularly in the case of his "butterfly" mark.
Nowadays, a remarque is primarily a "value-added" option for print collectors - meaning: You can have an artist's remarque added to your graphic edition, if you care to shell out some more money. (Unless, of course, the artist is a personal friend, or owes you a favor.)

The bookplate for The American Library in Manila was designed by Mary E. Rath Merrill and engraved by William Fowler Hopson, Many copies were made and this is probably the most widely distributed of all Hopson plates. What makes this working proof so special is that Hopson not only took the time to have it hand colored , he also drew , signed and dated a pencil sketch .
