Here’s a highly decorative ex libris bookplate for Cyprien Gouraud, dated 1899.

A striking late 19th century design incorporating a photographic portrait within an elaborate engraved composition, featuring scrollwork, books, a dog, and a vignette of a château. A particularly attractive and unusual example combining engraving and early photographic elements.

Signed Henry-André in the plate.

Finely engraved with crisp detail throughout and a clear plate mark visible.

Printed on thick, high quality paper, as shown under light.

This example appears to be an unused impression, not removed from a book, retaining full margins.

The sheet measures approximately 17 cm x 19 cm.

Condition is very good for its age, with light creasing and minor age-related toning. The image remains sharp and well defined. Please study photos.
