One last bookplate which is so charming I have to provide some comments (See the other ones here, here and here.)

This is the bookplate (or ex libris) of German politician, lawyer and Enlightenment figure Johann Daniel von Olenschlager (1711-1778), It depicts an ideal of a library which is made clear already in the Latin motto inscribed in the elaborate, Rococo frame, which translated into something like “I wish to be both useful and to be of enjoyment.” 

The depicted library room is an open loggia covered with a roomy vault. The side walls are entirely covered by bookshelves, giving that pleasant, comfortable impression of being lost in a sea of reading material. The floor, we may imagine, is a cool stone floor - because at the rear end, the loggia opens generously to a gorgeous Baroque garden. The shadows falling from the pillars to the left, the fountain trickling  and the garland having from the roof to frame the entrance all give away a vague feeling of an eternal summer day. Pruned trees, a gravel path and a balustraded stair emanate an atmosphere of peace and order. Two figures move towards us from the garden; we can almost hear the bright voices of our friends approaching. In a few moments they will be with us, laughingly teasing us to finally drop our books and get out into the sunshine with them. I wouldn’t mind at all.

Journey into the unknown with 'Living on the Edge' Ex-Libris Bookplates, finely crafted on traditional gummed paper. These bookplates feature a daring knight on horseback, poised at the very precipice of an adventure. 

Sydney Hunt, the visionary gay artist, brought this design to life in 1921. With its rich history and bold portrayal of a knight's fearless spirit, 'Living on the Edge' resonates with those who embrace life's challenges.

Another (see also my earlier post) very charming ex libris or bookplate is that of Georg Andreas Weise (1737-1792), a German theologian. Curiously, he was born in Astrakhan in Russia. 

In any case, his bookplate captures much of the simple, dignified atmosphere of German Neoclassicism and Biedermeier style. It also indicates a serious relationship to books and learning, with the overfull stacks behind the plain but pleasant desk and not least the lit and shaded lamp. Here is the bookplate, it seems to say, of a man perhaps with limited means, but with a great thirst for knowledge and love of books, who would stay up late, reading and working hard, with only the sound of the quill against the paper impeding on that peaceful yet creative atmosphere.

Erotic Bookplates by Drs. Phyllis and Eberhard Kronhausen, Bell Publishing Co., New York, 1970. From the Introduction: "Once upon a time, when peple still believed in gracious living, collectors of rare books had artists design personalized exlibris or bookplates for them. They usually bore the owner's name and maybe his coat of arms or some other decorative element." Collections of erotic books were often emblazoned with "erotic designs in keeping with the book's subject matter... many were done by top draftsmen and painters whose acknowledged works adorn the great museums and whose names are well known in the art world." Bookplates shown in these photos were by Halo Zetti, Valentin le Campion, Peter Wolbrand, and R. Balazsfy.
