Ex Libris : Ex-libris imprimé J. de Andrada 1917 This elegant bookplate was made for the French count René Philipon (1870-1936) by J. de Andrada in 1917. It shows a unicorn striding the waves; the Greek motto Philos pontou , Lover of the Sea, is a pun on Philipon s name. René Philipon was greatly interested in the occult sciences and salvaged the Bibliothèque rosicrucienne series of Henri Chacornac, owner of publishing house Chacornac. A collector himself, he published a work on Stanislas de Guaita: sa bibliothèque occulte . Philipon also collaborated on the monthly periodical L Initiation under the pseudonym Jean Tabris (the Ritman Library owns the complete run of this periodical, which offered articles on masonry, theosophy and occult sciences. It was founded in 1888 by Papus and ran until 1912). Several of Philipon s works with the fine bookplate by De Andrada are in the Ritman Library, both manuscripts and printed works. René Philipon lived at the Château de Vertcoeur in Île de France (see the gouache by William Heer). His library was sold in 1939; some of the books he owned have a Château de Vertcoeur supralibros.
