Contributed by Cary Memorial Library in Wayne
Description
In this humorous bookplate created for Leroy Goble, a man is dressed in a garment that gives him the appearance of a caterpillar or bookworm. He is surrounded by piles of books. Noted bookplate artist Carl S. Junge designed the bookplate.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Elizabeth Mast Hyatt gathered together a large collection of bookplates in honor of famed opera and concert singer Annie Louise Cary (1841-1921). Hyatt was a summer resident of Wayne, the town where Cary had been born.
In 1938 a new library was built and named the Cary Memorial Library. Hyatt later bequeathed her bookplate collection to the library.
