Hi, this is a slow-moving thread of library stamps being present in old books.
To celebrate the start of the #LibraryStampMadness series, let's enjoy this Bull's eye moment of a Vatican library stamp being stamped with full librarian joy into the empty space left over for a miniature. #skystorians

Niche as niche can be: Do you know an expert for library stamps from the CCCP? And why did they stamp at the last page and not on the title pages like the Western libraries? #LibraryStampMadness

It was of the magic tricks of librarians to make a library stamp hardly noticed within a title page. Here, the god Mercury is almost holding the stamp naturally.

Hard to imagine the mental strength and stern discipline of the librarian not to attempt to put the library stamp where most other librarians would - evidentially - have put the stamp to.

I am counting 4 modern library stamps on this printed page of a fifteenth-century book. Plus two library stamp shadows from the other side shimmering though. Well done, librarian of the past, well done.

Here's a Lyon 1572 imprint which had a nice Italian ownership stamp. Later, a bad child - Paolo Masotti of Forli - inked and printed coins of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, 1809-10, on the title page. William Blades listed "children" as one of the Enemies of Books (1888). #LibraryStampMadness
