Bookmarks in Art

A recent reminder of a trip to Paris a few years ago led me to review photographs of bookmarks found in art works in the Musée de Cluny – Musée national du Moyen Âge.  While I knew that paintings of this period often showed books with several styles of medieval bookmarks, I was surprised to notice the first one and then began to look for more.  Now, anytime I see a book in a work of art, I look closely to see if there is an accompanying bookmark.  We have other examples in our Gallery pages.  Share with us any examples you have found.
