A book plate by Gleeson White for his own library. White designed a number of plates for himself, family and friends, all in the 1890s. The emphasis on endless renewal (embodied in the inscription and in the dynamic imagery of nature), typifies his art. From the collection of Sarah Hill. Click on image to enlarge it
