Here’s a finely engraved ex libris bookplate for Elias Hicks, engraved by P. Maverick and dating to the early 19th century (circa 1820).

A clean and elegant armorial design featuring shield, crest and motto, rendered in a refined neoclassical style typical of early American engraving. A well-balanced and highly collectible composition.

Engraved by Peter Maverick, an important early American engraver, with his signature visible below the name.

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

Printed on wove 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 15.5 cm x 19.5 cm.

Condition is very good for its age, with light toning and minor handling marks. The engraving remains sharp and well defined. Please study photos.
