Chapter D: Y. Cameron is one of the most prominent artists in the so-called
"Glasgow School of Designers." His plates are nearly all etchings and are decidedly his own in subjects and treatment. They are most excellent productions. His work has been most fully exploited in Simpson's "Book of Book-plates," Vol. I., No. 4. There are eleven designs listed in Fincham, and the "Studio" Book-plate number reproduces four.

THOMAS MAITLAND CLELAND
Mr. Cleland is a young man who has an innate appreciation for decorative effect and, what is more to the purpose, an ability to apply it. For some years past his skill in typographic arrangement has added much to the products of several of our more advanced publishers; by more advanced I mean those with a knowledge and belief that it is good business to offer to the public books that delight the eye as well as the mind. Mr. Cleland has done many decorative bits by way of head- and tail-pieces and initials. There are also to his credit a baker's dozen of book-plates. These last are intensely decorative, and to class them as pictorial really does them injustice. They are thoroughly conventional and quite medieval in feeling.

GORDON CRAIG
"The Page" has been so much exploited in the public press that it seems supererogation to write anything more about it or Gordon Craig, one the embodiment of the other. Mr. Craig is very much of an all-round young man; brought up in the atmosphere of the theater and of books and pictures, he has dabbled in all to some purpose. He has a clear-cut individuality that differentiates him and his--work, I was going say, but perhaps play would be better, for Mr. Craig is one of those inconsequential chaps that seem to take things as they come and be chipper and happy and youthful-hearted with all. His book-plate work is of the meat-ax variety and inspired by the rough wood-cuts of the early engravers. His work has the air of the poseur that is as balm to the heart of the dilettante.

JULIUS DIEZ
The work of Julius Diez is rich with the flavor of medievalism and full decorative effect. The example shown in this book, the plate for Max Ostenrieder, is a little masterpiece and an ideal book-plate. Mr. Diez has done others much more elaborate, and with well-drawn and well thought-out motifs, but none to excel the bit referred to.

GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS
Mr. Edwards has made a large number of very excellent book-cover designs and has decorated several volumes throughout. One of the most beautiful of the latter is Spenser's Epithalamion, published by Dodd, Mead & Company. Mr. Edwards has done a few other book-plates in addition to those listed here, but these are all he wishes to stand sponsor for.

FRITZ ERLER
Fritz Erler has been one of the leading contributors to that prince of German art periodicals, "Jugend," since its beginning. His book-plates are characterized by the same imaginative spirit and weirdness that appear in all his work. His work is often reproduced in soft tints with excellent effect. In the third volume of "Jugend" there was a double page given to prints of Mr. Erler's book-plates.

EDWIN DAVIS FRENCH
The book-plates of Edwin Davis French are the most esteemed of those of our present American engravers. His work is decidedly the vogue among those who can afford the best, and is much prized by collectors. There has rarely been an article on book-plates published in the past five years or more that has not contained a eulogy of his work, and there have been reproductions galore, both from the original coppers and by half-tone. There is no American designer whose work is so eagerly sought by the collector or for which larger returns are asked in exchanges. Mr. French usually designs the work he engraves, but in several instances he has cut plates from the designs of others. Such instances are noted in the list. Mr. French's work is characterized by daintiness of design and great beauty of execution. He is unquestionably a master of the graver in decorative work. In the following list those numbered 133 and below are from Mr. Lemperly's well-known list, and credit is hereby rendered him therefor. The rest of the list is made up from various sources and has been very carefully compared and is believed to be accurate and complete, with the few exceptions noted, to July 1, 1902.

BERTRAM G. GOODHUE
Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue is a Boston architect who has made several book-plates of merit. One made for a department of Harvard University is particularly rich in decorative effect, and a design of which one would not grow weary. Others of Mr. Goodhue's designs are treated in broad line and might have been reproduced very effectively by wood engraving.

HARRY E. GOODHUE
The few book-plates designed by Harry E. Goodhue are mostly of the "girl and book" type. In the plate for Jessy McClellan the young woman appears to be sorry she "done it," or else is quite discouraged at the idea of lifting her folio romance into her lap. Mr. Goodhue's most pleasing design is that for Constance Alexander, shown on page 27.

T. B. HAPGOOD, Jr.
Mr. Hapgood is a decorative designer in Boston, and his work on the covers of various periodicals and catalogs is well known. Plate No. 5 was submitted in competition and took second prize. It has never been reproduced. No. 1 was reproduced in "The Red Letter," No. 2 in the book-plate number of "The Studio," as was also No. 4. No. 14 has not been reproduced. No. 15 was originally made as a printer's mark and was so used. It was later altered to serve as a book-plate.

HAROLD E. NELSON
Many of the figures in the book-plates by Harold Nelson are of the attenuated pre-Raphaelite type, but there are others one can believe really once lived. The frontispiece to the book-plate number of "The Studio" is a beautiful decorative bit by Mr. Nelson, and makes us quite willing to forgive him some of his more eccentric designs. The plate referred to is enhanced in beauty by a few lines of gold judiciously used. The musical plate on page 18 of this volume is a pleasing one.

EDMUND H. NEW
The book-plate designs by Mr. New are in a class by themselves. No one else has worked quite the field occupied by this artist. Mr. New has used architecture for the motifs of a series of unusually pleasing plates. He has treated in a most decorative way whole buildings as well as details, doorways, and so forth. His plates are particularly adapted to the dignified old houses that contain the libraries for which they were made. Mr. New has not limited himself to this field, as he has done a number of designs with no architectural suggestion. His work in book illustration and decoration is of a most delightful quality, and is well known to all lovers of black and white. A number of his book-plate designs were reproduced and commented upon in Simpson's "Book of Book-plates," Vol. II., No. I. The book-plate number of "The Studio" also showed some of his designs. The list is in chronological order and complete.

The book-plate number of "The Studio" shows several and Fincham's "Artists and Engravers" lists two.

ARMAND RASSENFOSSE
Armand Rassenfosse is a resident of Liege, therefore, presumably, a Belgian and a subject of the German Empire. But as stone walls do not always a prison make, so frontiers do not always mark the nationality of art and letters. Mr. Rassenfosse is distinctly French in his feeling and artistic point of view. Perhaps I should rather say Parisian, for it is of the Latin Quartier and the Beaux Arts that his work breathes. His designs are almost entirely of nude femininity and his method of expression the etching. He has made some eight or ten charming bits, full of life and chic--I was going to say, frou-frou, but that would be a misnomer, for his models are innocent of gowns or lingerie. Their spirit and beauty of execution is high, but as book-plate designs--well, it's a bit like champagne for breakfast.

LOUIS RHEAD
The illustrator of "Pilgrim's Progress" and the "Idylls of the King" needs no introduction to the average book-lover, and the hearts of the poster-collectors throb at his name. Mr. Rhead is an American of English birth and a resident of one of the suburbs of greater Gotham. His decorative work has been long and favorably known, and his book-plates can but add to his reputation. He has done but fifteen, and two of these are yet to be reproduced, but some examples of his work are in most collections.

BYAM SHAW
The one or two book-plate designs by Mr. Shaw that have been published show a magnificent imaginative conception and makes the lover of the beautiful ardently wish for "more." The one for Isabella Hunter, on page 216 of Vol. I. of the "International Studio," is at the head of its class. Mr. Shaw's other line-drawings and his paintings have a richness and weirdness of design that is very attractive.
