4_53_No120Template.jpg

A template of a pictorial-style bookplate used for marketing, in black ink on ivory paper with an elaborate border of bamboo and vines, with several birds perched on leaves. The central image is of a bearded man in a smoking jacket, lying on a bed or chaise lounge and propped up by pillows, reading a book and smoking a cigarette in a long holder. Two cherubs are attending the man, one playing the lute, and the other carrying a tray with a teacup, tea pot, and sugar dish. A text box reads "Your name here," and beneath is the text "No. 120."
