520 _a"Book-plates of To-day" by Wilbur Macey Stone is a specialized artistic publication written in the early 20th century. This book offers insights into the art and design of book-plates, which are decorative labels affixed to the inside cover of a book, indicating ownership. The book showcases various works by contemporary designers, discussing their significance and the aesthetic components involved in creating these miniature art pieces. The content is an exploration of book-plates from various artists, highlighting distinctions in style, purpose, and artistic expression. Stone delves into the function of book-plates as not just ownership markers but as reflections of personal taste and artistic endeavor. He includes examples from both American and British designers, critiques design elements, and discusses broader themes such as the balance of beauty and utility in art. The text also addresses the controversial use of nude figures in book-plates, questioning their place in this form of artistic expression.
