Ekslibris 1856 - 1935

Herman Rudolf Müller's "Ekslibris" is a black and white woodcut bookplate created between 1856 and 1935. The artwork features an owl perched on a classical column, framed by two wreaths of stylized flowers and a profile portrait of a classical figure. The intricate details and delicate lines of the woodcut are characteristic of Müller's style, highlighting his mastery of the medium. This work is an excellent example of a bookplate, which was a common practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
