Bookplate for George Bancroft. Engraving of a cherub holding a tabula ansata with text Εἰς φάος in Ancient Greek, meaning "toward the light".
An ex libris (Latin for 'from the books'), also known as a bookplate (or book-plate, as it was commonly styled until the early 20th century), is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Simple typographical bookplates are termed "book labels".
