DU BOURG DE BOZAS • CHAIX D'EST ANGE These are the names of two prominent French families. Emmanuel du Bourg de Bozas (1871–1902) was a noted explorer, and Gustave Chaix d'Est-Ange (1863–1923) was a famous genealogist. This label indicates the book was once part of their private collection.

FROM THE LIBRARY original Latin: "EX LIBRIS." A traditional mark of ownership placed inside a book.

BookplateA decorative label, often featuring a family crest, pasted into a book to show ownership. Here, it is made of fine red leather with gold stamping.

Peacock MarblingA specific pattern of hand-marbled paper created by drawing a comb through floating pigments. The resulting "eyes" or fans resemble the tail of a peacock.

The inner cover features a decorative gold-tooled border known as a "dentelle," which matches the high-quality craftsmanship of the Trautz-Bauzonnet binding mentioned on the following page.
