The _Thomas Johnston_ plate by Maverick is a fine example of this style. Maverick was the most prolific worker in the Ribbon and Wreath, while Callender and Rollinson also used it very largely. The _Prosper Wetmore_ plate by Maverick, the _John Sullivan_ by Callender, and the _Horatio Shepherd Moat_ by Rollinson, are all excellent examples. [Illustration: Richard Wynkoop] PICTORIAL AND ALLEGORICAL BOOK-PLATES, AND PLATES OF COLLEGES, LIBRARIES, AND SOCIETIES. [Illustration: D]esigns which are wholly pictorial or which are meant to convey meaning by their symbolism are not very numerous with us. This style of design is no better suited to the plates of public libraries, schools, and societies, than to those of individuals, but nearly all of our early examples of this style are found to belong to the former class. One of the early personal plates of this kind is that of _James Parker_, who was a collector of curios, medals, and books. He was a conductor on the old Western Railroad, and ran the first train between Worcester and Springfield. This plate is fully described in the List. Of an entirely different style is the plate engraved by Harris for _Henry Andrews_. This is pictorial, introducing classical features, but hardly rising to the height of allegory. The plate of _Bloomfield McIlvaine_ is also pictorial, and probably allegorical, as the figure seems to represent History. In the _Samuel Parker_ plate we have [Illustration: No. 161, Sam Parker] allegory with a label to identify it; for the bank on which the muse of History reclines is labelled _Clio_. A very peculiar pictorial plate is that of _Edward Pennington_, which seems to represent an overflowing reservoir. [Illustration: HENRY ANDREWS] The plates of _McMurtrie_, _Kip_, _Mann_, _Russell_, _Swett_ and _Hooper_ are good examples of the class. Examples could be given at greater length, but as all are carefully described in the List, the reader is referred to it. The most interesting of the old society and [Illustration: NEW·YORK _Society_ LIBRARY.] [Illustration: NEW-YORK SOCIETY LIBRARY. 1789] library plates are the three of the _New York Society Library_, the two of the libraries in Farmington, Conn., and that of the _Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts_.
