Rex Whistler. Privately printed. 1931. Collotype book plate, with plate mark to margin, signed and dated in the plate 'Rex Whistler 1931'; paper size - 110 x 80 mm. English. 110 x 80mm. 0.1kg.
Rae was one of the directors at the Cobden-Sanderson publishing house
A collotype made in 1931 for Kenneth Rae as his bookplate. This is the most perfect example of Whistler’s whimsy: a combination of frivolity and mortality. Appropriately, the Rococo cartouche bearing the name of the book publisher supports a pile of books, but it’s accompanied by a skull and flowers
