Cataloguer's Notes:
Inspired by the colophon of a historic printer, Louis Comfort Tiffany originally created his "bookmark" pattern as a decorative feature for the New York City library of his friend, Robert W. de Forest. In 1897, Tiffany's firm introduced this subject as a prominent ornamental motif within their design installations for the Chicago Public Library.
