Design for a book-plate for Bernard Hughes
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum

This drawing shows a person tangled in a web, surrounded by books and a globe. The top reads "EX LIBRIS," which means "from the books of" in Latin. Below, the name "BERNARD H. WEBB" is printed in bold letters. The web and books might hint at someone who loves reading but feels stuck. The globe on the shelf suggests travel or knowledge. This was likely made as a personal bookplate, marking books owned by Webb. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their collection.
