Abstract
A summary of the resource.
New Zealand’s Trinity of book collectors marked their books in different ways, thereby signifying ownership with the claim ‘This book is mine!’ Sir George Grey had no bookplate, inscribing his books rarely. Alexander Turnbull had ten different bookplates, one being a ‘rebus’ designed by the artist Walter Crane. Dr T.M. Hocken marked each book he owned many times, often using an Ex libris bookplate (which he was not allowed to carry); a ‘Hakena’ label, ink stamps, and his signature.
Marking ownership (provenance) by inserting bookplates, book labels, stamps or inscriptions into a book is part of a long tradition, begun in the period of the first printing presses (1450s), when multiple copies of books were produced. Book collectors started to amass libraries, either as a resource for their own intellectual pursuits, or just for show. It became chic to have a library, a collection of books and manuscripts. In later times, it was doubly chic to have a prominent artist design your bookplate.
Many of the first bookplates were based on coats of arms that many aristocrats and landed gentry had the right to bear. Mottoes dominated. As time progressed, and book collecting increased, an increasing number of owners did not have coats of arms to adorn their books. Consequently, they developed their own pictorial bookplates, often containing symbols or objects that reflected some personal aspect or interest. Traditionally, bookplates were engraved, or were produced through wood or linocuts. As the modern era progressed, the use of photography and colour has increased. Some book collectors are more circumspect. They use small, often unadorned labels, or specially made stamps, to affix in their books. Others just simply inscribed their name in their books.
Special Collections does not own a collection of bookplates like Auckland City Libraries with their Hilda Wiseman Collection, nor the Auckland Museum Library with its Percy Barnett Collection. Nevertheless, Special Collections has numerous bookplates, book labels, and inscriptions evident in the thousands of books held. On display is a small fraction of the total held, a wide variety of armorial, pictorial, and modern designs representing a wide range of book collectors. What is pleasing are the number of bookplates and labels representing female book collectors, who have traditionally not figured greatly in the field of book collecting. In addition, bookplate samples from the collection of Professor David Skegg have been included. They are particular to the South Island as they feature Otago and Southland bookplate owners.
In order to display more bookplates, far more smaller (octavo) format books and much less large format ones have been used. Often found pasted on the front endpaper, these individual design and provenance statements have their own distinct beauty. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Ellen (‘Nellie’) Elizabeth Dutton, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister in Dunedin, was the Principal of the Dunedin Free Kindergarten Association for many years. This bookplate, a memorial one produced after Dutton’s death in 1938, contains elements that reflected her interests. There are the two young children, the years marking her career at the Kindergarten, and a reference to Psalm 92, verse 12: ‘The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.’ The artist was Miss E. Reid, a former pupil.

A summary of the resource.
Morris N. Watt (1892-1973) was a bacteriologist at the Otago Medical School. Apart from his medical work, Dr Watt had a prodigious range of interests. He published significant works on field entomology and early New Zealand shipping. He was also active in the study of diatoms, photography, philately, and heraldry. His colourful bookplate was created by Katherine Chart, an artist in the Court of the Lord Lyon, King of Arms in Edinburgh.

A summary of the resource.
As is evident in his bookplate, Richard Lawson (1875-1971) had links with Australia. He was born in Victoria and attended the University of Melbourne where he graduated MA. Lawson had a particular interest in Classical Studies, and his bookplate says ‘His Book’ in Greek. In 1923, Lawson came to Dunedin to take up the role of the Foundation Professor of Education at Otago, and he remained in the position until his death. It is not certain how Hilda Wiseman came to design this bookplate, but it is one of over 100 that she executed over a fifty-year period.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Hilda Wiseman (1894-1982) was born in Victoria, Australia, to New Zealand parents. The Wiseman family moved back to Auckland in 1904, and Hilda went on to study at Elam School of Art. She worked as a commercial artist, setting up on her own in 1931. From 1925 onwards, she designed over 100 bookplates, working predominately in linocuts. Wiseman printed the bookplates on her own press in her own studio: Selwyn Studio. Her style is bold and uncomplicated, and she clearly had a natural artistic talent. Wiseman also collected bookplates, and her collection of 1000 plates is now housed at the Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland City Library.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
New Zealand’s Trinity of book collectors marked their books in different ways, thereby signifying ownership with the claim ‘This book is mine!’ Sir George Grey had no bookplate, inscribing his books rarely. Alexander Turnbull had ten different bookplates, one being a ‘rebus’ designed by the artist Walter Crane. Dr T.M. Hocken marked each book he owned many times, often using an Ex libris bookplate (which he was not allowed to carry); a ‘Hakena’ label, ink stamps, and his signature.
Marking ownership (provenance) by inserting bookplates, book labels, stamps or inscriptions into a book is part of a long tradition, begun in the period of the first printing presses (1450s), when multiple copies of books were produced. Book collectors started to amass libraries, either as a resource for their own intellectual pursuits, or just for show. It became chic to have a library, a collection of books and manuscripts. In later times, it was doubly chic to have a prominent artist design your bookplate.
Many of the first bookplates were based on coats of arms that many aristocrats and landed gentry had the right to bear. Mottoes dominated. As time progressed, and book collecting increased, an increasing number of owners did not have coats of arms to adorn their books. Consequently, they developed their own pictorial bookplates, often containing symbols or objects that reflected some personal aspect or interest. Traditionally, bookplates were engraved, or were produced through wood or linocuts. As the modern era progressed, the use of photography and colour has increased. Some book collectors are more circumspect. They use small, often unadorned labels, or specially made stamps, to affix in their books. Others just simply inscribed their name in their books.
Special Collections does not own a collection of bookplates like Auckland City Libraries with their Hilda Wiseman Collection, nor the Auckland Museum Library with its Percy Barnett Collection. Nevertheless, Special Collections has numerous bookplates, book labels, and inscriptions evident in the thousands of books held. On display is a small fraction of the total held, a wide variety of armorial, pictorial, and modern designs representing a wide range of book collectors. What is pleasing are the number of bookplates and labels representing female book collectors, who have traditionally not figured greatly in the field of book collecting. In addition, bookplate samples from the collection of Professor David Skegg have been included. They are particular to the South Island as they feature Otago and Southland bookplate owners.
In order to display more bookplates, far more smaller (octavo) format books and much less large format ones have been used. Often found pasted on the front endpaper, these individual design and provenance statements have their own distinct beauty. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Lady Diana Duff Cooper (1892-1986) was a British socialite, actress, and author. Married to politician and diplomat Alfred Duff Cooper (1890-1954), the couple lived a life of privilege and excess, surrounded by famous artists and the intellectuals of the day. Lady Cooper’s bookplate was executed by the artist Rex Whistler (1905-44). It includes images associated with her lifestyle: champagne bottles, grape vines, scrolls, and despatch boxes. Cooper herself is portrayed as Diana the Huntress in a bust that Whistler described to her as ‘haughty’; the overall rococo style is in keeping with the artist’s oeuvre. In all, Whistler produced 18 bookplates, mostly for friends, and his designs are described as having a ‘wonderful lightness and elegance’ (Lee, 1973).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Baroness Le Despencer, Rachel Austen (c. 1706-88) owned this book before she married in 1738 Sir Robert Austen (1697-1743). Her ownership inscription ‘Rachel Dashwood 1731’ is at the top of the title page. The bookplate, designed sometime after 1781, features the crest of the Le Despencer baronetcy. The arms have four quarters and feature lions rampant (top left), gauntlets (top right), and a Saltire with a rose (bottom left). On either side of the arms are a Griffin and a bull, and they stand on a ribbon with the motto ‘Pro Magna Charta’ emblazoned upon it.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Betsey daughter of Mary Harris…her book 5th March 1833’. This book, containing the Bible, a Book of Common Prayer and a Book of Psalms, has been passed down from mother to daughter. Mary probably wrote the ownership note here, and Betsey practised writing her name underneath. Mary’s maiden name was possibly Greenwood, with other ownership inscriptions reading ‘John Greenwood’, and ‘Grace Greenwood her Book’ within. The volume was most probably a family heirloom passed down and much read, a common practice at the time. It is unknown how the book came to be in Special Collections, but it is part of the de Beer collection.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The decorative book label on display is an apt one for Charles Francis Bell (1871-1966), who was head of the Fine Art Department at the Ashmolean Museum between 1909 and 1931. He counted as friends the Renaissance art scholar Bernard Berenson, T. E. Lawrence (‘Lawrence of Arabia’), and Kenneth Clark. He was fastidious, and did not suffer fools gladly. Bell was once observed kicking an exhibition catalogue that he thought poorly written across his library floor. This edition of Gray’s Poems is fine; and presumably did not meet with a similar fate.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A book label is a printed paper label carrying the name of the book owner. Often they are unadorned and unpretentious. However, here is a leather, gilt-edged book label belonging to Mrs M. Pimlowe. An inscription within reveals the book’s history. In essence, it was presented to Mrs M. Pimlowe by Queen Charlotte of England after the birth of the Prince of Wales. Pimlowe had nursed the Queen at the birth of the Prince. Some years after, she married Mr Edward Burbidge of Aynhoe who survived her. After the death of Mr Burbidge the book passed to John Martin Watson of Aynhoe, who left it to John Harris Jnr, Esquire of Deddington. The armorial bookplate is that of John Hyde Harris (1826–1886), the lawyer who became Mayor of Dunedin.
