After a quiet period, interest in bookplates in Australia began to increase in the early 1970s, Entrepreneurial art and book collectors such as Edwin Jewell and others commissioned multiple Bookplate designs from a range of well known fine artists. At a 1997 meeting in Melbourne of the Ephemera Society of Australia Edwin Jewell and others announced the formation of the Australian Bookplate Society. The society was instrumental in promoting the art of the bookplate through establishment of the Australian Bookplate Design competition.Uncle Scrooge McDuck is depicted amongst frogsInitial in bottom left hand corner and 89 in the bottom right hand cornerbookplate, printmaking, australian bookplate design awards, keith wingrove memorial trust, framed bookplate, available, available bookplate
