Maribel Schumaker bookplate   Save
Katherine Geis Collection
Description: This bookplate of Maribel Schumaker, dated 1908, portrays what appears to be the library in a private residence. Furnishings include a bookshelf lined with many volumes, a desktop decorated with several volumes, a flower-filled vase, and two masks that symbolize Comedy and Tragedy. Above the bookshelf is a large portrait of a woman and a young child. A window looks out on a street scene that shows a large house and a child pulling a sled. Two owls perched on a tree branch outside the window are peering into the room. A banner with text reads: "Ex Libris Maribel Shumaker 1908." View on Ohio Memory.
