- Abstract
The article provides a history of the use of the "Exlibris", the artistically printed label found in books giving information about the owner of the book. The author compares the ex libris to a business card for a book. The article discusses the use of these seals as being common in early 20th century Austria, even becoming a collectible for book owners and lovers of small graphic art. Famous artists such as Gustav Klimt and the Wiener Werkstätte group who created seals are also discussed.
