Mystery Rebus Bookplate from Barbara
Hello!
I have come across your interesting website many times in the past, but this is the first time I have had a query. I hope you can help.
I have come across what appears to be a rebus bookplate (attached), but haven't so far been able to decipher it.
The hare and tree might possibly be Trehair, and there might be also be a Shepherd (or similar spelling). Perhaps also a Knight - or 'Sir'. No idea what the Sunderland refers to, or why the plate is dated 1909.
Have you by any chance ever come across this design before?
Best wishes,
Barbara
Note from Lew- Send scans of your mystery bookplates and I will try to assist you.
See you again next Sunday .
