123 European Ex Libris [towers, spires & belfries] - 1874

Towers, a theme of all times and from all countries. 123 pcs. Ex-libris. Towers of churches, fortresses and castles, but also a keep, and even a televison mast, have long been a theme to use for an ex-libris. Usually as a placeholder of the titular or artist. The oldest picture is an ex-libris from 1874, but also known are the views of Anton Pieck, always with a tower in the background, of which there is also one in this collection. The towers appear on ex-libris from Germany, the Netherlands, France, Russia, Italy, Austria and Portugal. All ex-libris are in good to very good condition; there are 4 duplicate copies and there is 1 damaged copy. Some are signed.
