CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL HISTORICAL EVENTS HEREIN ALLUDED TO.
In his "Petite Revue d'Ex-Libris Alsaciens," Mons. Auguste Stoeber claimed to have discovered an armorial ex-libris which had been engraved for Conrad Wolfhart, of Rouffach, who died in 1561, but the evidence is not conclusive, otherwise this would have been the earliest French book-plate known.
The first English book-plate, that of Sir Nicholas Bacon, was also dated 1574.
FRENCH EX-LIBRIS.
INTRODUCTION.
It is nearly a quarter of a century since Mons. Maurice Tourneux first drew attention to the subject of French book-plates in an article which appeared in "L'Amateur d'Autographes" for April, 1872. This was descriptive of the famous collection of Mons. Agla?s Bouvenne, who is himself the designer of some of the most interesting and artistic of modern French book-plates. Next followed the well-known work of Mons. A. Poulet-Malassis, "Les Ex-Libris Fran?ais," the preface to which is dated January 20th, 1874; a second edition was issued in the following year by P. Rouquette, Paris, 1875. Then, after a long interval, appeared "Les Ex-Libris et les Marques de Possession du Livre," by Henri Bouchot. Paris: Edouard Rouveyre, 1891.
Beyond these, and a few pamphlets descriptive of local collections, such as the "Petite Revue d'Ex-Libris Alsaciens," by Auguste Stoeber, 1881, and some articles by Octave Uzanne in "Le Livre Moderne," comparatively little had been written on the topic until the appearance of the first edition of this work.
