Ex libris van Eldina Aldegonda Hoogenraad 1948

This 1948 *ex libris*, measuring only 50 mm by 52 mm, is a small but intricate design featuring a circular frame with a central image of a building and a decorative "H" surrounded by interlocked circles inscribed with the words "Ex Libris" and "Helpen Eldina Aldegonda Hoogenraad." The design is reminiscent of traditional bookplate art, emphasizing the owner's name and the motto "Helpen" likely indicative of their personal values or interests. Despite its diminutive size, the intricate detail and symbolic language demonstrate the craftsman's skill in creating a unique and personal mark for the owner's books.
