This bookplate, created in 1902 by German artist Hans Thoma, features a detailed illustration of a bird perched on a branch above a nest filled with baby birds. The image is surrounded by a swirling pattern of stylized leaves and vines, and a human hand is positioned above the scene, possibly symbolizing protection or care. This intricate design, typical of Thoma's work, was created for Daniela Thode, a prominent figure in the art world. The bookplate's inscription reads "Ex Libris Daniela Thode geb. von Bülow," marking it as a personal identifier for Thode's books, showcasing the artist's talents in both fine art and decorative design.
