    Description

    You are bidding on a rather unusual bookplate
    with the owner initials of "KGH"
    depicting a black hand holding a naked man
    the initials of the bookplate designer
    are at the lower left corner of the design
    but the letters are too small for me to read
    very expressionistic
    The size of the bookplate is
    4-1/8" tall x 3" wide, approximately
    The bookplate is affixed
    to the front pastedown endpaper
    of this book:
    THE HAPPY HYPOCRITE
    A Fairy Tale for Tired Men

    New York: John Lane Company, 1922
    Copyright 1896 and 1906,
    cloth hardcover, 7-3/16" tall, 63 pages,
    good or better condition
    I spent far too much time trying to identify this....
