Ex Libris: A Latin mark meaning "From the books of..."
In antiquarian fairy tales, these plates add a personal layer of history. They bridge the gap between the fantastic worlds inside the pages and the real people who once held and cherished them.
Here is a glimpse into some provenance of my collection.

And Several Others Found Their Way Into My Collection! I trawled Finn.no again and this time caught the quite hidden gems below. Part of an ad for several books from a private collection, they were offered together with Leif Igeltorp’s book Norsk Ex Libris Selskap 1943–1961 (self-published in 2012) for 500 NOK. Not the cheapest […]

And Caught Henry Schjærven’s 1952 Portfolio! A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a person who tipped me off about an ongoing auction in Sweden. The auction house Snapphane in the Scania region of Sweden offered the last exlibris portfolio by Norwegian exlibris artist and draftsman Henry Schjærven from 1952, with a starting bid […]

A DIY Exlibris?
I have successfully infected my colleagues, friends, and acquaintances with the exlibris virus: they are now going around with eyes open and seeing exlibris in antiquarian books, at flea markets, in semi-public collections, and on their own bookshelves. Just today, a colleague of mine stepped by and showed me a recent “find” they made in […]

Exlibris of the Day 7
Another of my recently acquired Norwegian exlibris is for Anna Petterson by Arent Christensen, and today we are going to have a look at it together – perhaps we unravel some mysteries, too? On First Impression The exlibris looks clean, but the paper in the lower right corner is torn; there is also an ever-so-slight […]

Exlibris of the Day 6
Today, we’re taking a look at a new purchase I made a few weeks ago on Finn.no, the largest and most diverse Norwegian second-hand market platform. First Impression The exlibris is printed in rich, black ink on handmade paper with clearly visible gridlines and torn edges (a sign that the artist handled the paper appropriately). […]

Rolf Nysted Heier’s Exlibris Album – Pt. 4
In a first post, then another, and then a third, I introduced one of the most unique items in the Nysted Heier Collection of Norwegian ex exlibris: the exlibris album. Today, I want to have a look at the exlibrisiana that Nysted Heier glued into the album, and in a way, provide a short bibliography of the items, some of […]
