Bookplates by Celia Levetus

Bookplates by Celia Levetus 

 

Celia Levetus designed at least twenty-five bookplates, many of which feature a woman reading.  At a time when many women received little education, these images challenged prevailing attitudes. 

 

John Nettlefold, original owner of Winterbourne, and his sister Grace both had bookplates designed by Celia Levetus.
