Excerpt from Bookplates for Beginners

The bookplate of George Washington is probably the most interesting American bookplate. It is of the style known as Chippendale armorial as determined by the shape and ornamentation of the shield and of the tablet on which the name is engraved. The shield and crest display the arms of the Washington family. The original is a copperplate engraving, by an unknown artist who is thought to have been an American because of the manner of engraving.
