There exists an extremely rare bookplate, crudely engraved, for Johannes Dutton of Tutbury. It depicts a crowned clock face between Father Time and and a gentleman with a crown on his head. For more, contact The Bookplate Society.

An article on the bookplates (exlibris) designed by George Scruby (1867-1937) appeared in The Bookplate Society Newsletter of September 1986. Write to members AT bookplate society DOT org

The Bookplate Society (www.bookplatesociety.org) is preparing for publication in The Bookplate Journal a review of a paperback book by Roger Jones (2nd edition, 2016) that illustrates (based on what is probably SLR's personal archive, now in Jones's ownership) 29 bookplates designed by SLR for fellow actors. Secondly, we plan to include a short biography of SLR (1876-1933), artist, author, playwright, and actor. This has been largely drafted, but it would be helpful if any relative (especially yendis44) could please now contact the Hon Treasurer and Membership Secretary (click on Contact us at top right of Society's webpage). A photo of SLR can be viewed online in the "The Stage Year Book 1913" at https://archive.org/stream/stageyearbook1913londuoft#page/n71/mode/2up but we would hope to find more material at the Victoria & Albert Museum's Theatre and Performance Archive at Blythe House. The link posted by jomcd967 would appear not to work, and it would be most helpful to receive a valid link to, or a copy of, the Mosnar Yendis interview.
