EDITORS COMMENTS
Ex Libris: A Timeless Testament of Personal Connection to Literature and Sport This Ex Libris bookplate, designed by the talented artist Terry Parker, showcases a woman named Joan Silvester Horne in a thoughtful and intriguing scene. The image of a young woman, dressed in the elegant attire of the Art Nouveveau era, is engrossed in a book with an intense expression on her face. The unexpected addition of a tennis racket under her arm adds a delightful twist to the classic bookplate design. The Latin motto, "Dum Vivimus, Vivamus," which translates to "While we live, let us live," emphasizes the importance of seizing the moment and enjoying life's simple pleasures. This sentiment is further reinforced by the woman's posture and the playful, yet sophisticated, combination of literature and sport. The intricate details of the design, from the delicate flowers and vines that frame the image to the elegant script of the inscription, demonstrate Terry Parker's mastery of the Art Nouveau style. The use of rich colors and bold lines adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a truly stunning addition to any book collection. Joan Silvester Horne's Ex Libris bookplate is a testament to the enduring connection between literature and personal identity. It serves as a reminder that the books we read not only shape our minds but also reflect our interests, passions, and experiences. Whether you're an avid reader, a tennis enthusiast, or simply appreciate the beauty of Art Nouveau design, this bookplate is sure to inspire and delight.
