Hjelmstjernes ekslibris 1725 - 1749

"Hjelmstjernes ekslibris" is an engraved bookplate designed by Marcus Tuscher in the 18th century. It depicts a coat of arms with a shield featuring two lions and a helmet with a crown, surrounded by a frame of ornate details. The bookplate is a small work of art that would have been placed in books owned by the Hjelmsterne family to signify their ownership. Bookplates are often collected by art enthusiasts and serve as historical records of family heraldry. This specific example is part of the collection at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
