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. The competition includes a design award for secondary schools students. .1 Framed bookplate by Irena Sibley .2 Bookplate by Irena SibleySigned Irena Sibley ower right below printbookplate, framed bookplate, irena sibley, keith wingrove memorial trust, karal anne marling
