	Bookplate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bookplate, also known as ex libris [Latin, "from books"], is commonly a printed piece of paper pasted on one of the pages of a book, most often on the inside front cover showing ownership.
		The main characteristics of the style which prevailed during the Queen Anne and early Georgian periods are: ornamental frames suggestive of carved oak, a frequent use of fish-scales, trellis or diapered patterns, for the decoration of plain surfaces; and, in the armorial display, a marked reduction in the importance of the mantling.
		Bookplates are undoubtedly very often of high interest (and of a value often far greater than the odd volume in which they are found affixed), either as specimens of bygone decorative fashion or as personal relics of well-known people.
