Book plates are page illustrations, pictures, or photographs, that are printed separately from the text of a book, but they are bound in during production.

Pre-1960's, bookplates had no writing or images on the reverse. Due to the process used for plating, bookplates retain the color, texture, and intensity of the original painting.
