I purchased one several year ago, but it is a limited edition with original bookplates -- including the Banting ex-libris. All the plates, save one, are signed by LVS.<br /><br />Speaking of Frederick Banting, our Museum --the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead, Qc -- holds a book collection that includes several of Banting's personal library, many with his signature, but no bookplates... I'll keep looking, just in case one comes up. But I do have some of Lady Banting's, who owned a family estate nearby in Rock Island, "Lee Farm".<br /><br />She was an early friend of our museum, and donated books, documents and artworks -- including paintings by Sir Frederick Banting. We also own portraits by Wilbur Aaron Reaser of both Henrietta Ball Banting and Sir Frederick, painted in the early 20's.<br /><br />By the way, I love your blog. I have a few Canadian medical booplates, including some from the early 19th century: looking forward to further postings on these on your blog. I can send you scans of mine, if you would like them.Pierre Rastoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445252294665001336noreply@blogger.com
