Today we bring you a few lovely bookplates, designed by Frederick Garrison Hall (1879–1946)! Hall was an architect by trade but is better-known for his etchings.

All I know is, I definitely don't need to adorn the books in my personal library with a stamp like these, but that won't stop me from exploring some of my options...

Decorative Sunday
Here are some architectural designs from The City and Country Builder’s and Workman’s Treasury of Designs by English garden designer Batty Langley (1696-1751), printed for and sold by Samuel Harding in London in 1745. The designs are for floors, ceilings, cabinets, and frames engraved in copper by Langley's brother Thomas Langley (1702-1751) after Batty Langley's drawings. Our copy is the 3rd edition, with the first printed by Jacob Ilive for Batty Langley in 1740. It would continue to be published through multiple editions to 1777.
