Bookplate for William J. Ryan
Date Unknown / Creator Unknown
Collection: The Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection
A pictorial-style bookplate in black ink on white paper with a line border. The central image is of a library with very tall bookshelves. There is a table with a tall chair and a lamp, and a figure is seated in the chair, leaning forward to read. There is a large window looking out onto a city at night, with a moon and stars in the sky, and lights reflected on water. Above the image is the text "Ex Libris" and beneath is the name William J. Ryan
