Title:	Ex-Libris Giorgio Balbi (Sognare -- 'Dream')
Artist:	Cisari, Giulio (Como, 1892 - Milan, 1979)
Date:	c. 1935 - 1940
Medium:	Original Wood Engraving
Source:	Ex-Libris Bookplate
Note:	Giulio Cisari: A twentieth century Italian painter, wood engraver, etcher and poster designer, Giulio Cisari was constantly commissioned as both an ex-libris artist and book illustrator. In 1958 a volume was published on his bookplates entitled, Ex-Libris Disegnati da Giulio Cisari. This original wood engraving is an ex libris bookplate created for the collector, Giorgio Balbi. Balbi was the son of Angelo Balbi (1872-1939), the well known artist and writer. This beautiful Giulio Cisari design is also subtitled "Sognare" -- 'Dream'. It depicts a sleeping woman (disrobed) in the lower part of this engraving, and in the upper section, two elaborate dreamlike events take place, the first illustrates 19th century vessels, possibly preparing for battle, and to their right, there is a knight in shining armour on his white horse in combat with a dragon. It is a striking, original example of the Ex-Libris art created of Giulio Cisari.
	Ex-Libris etchings, engravings and woodcuts date all the way back to the mid fifteenth century. Their function was initially quite utilitarian as miniature prints used to signify the ownership of books. As private libraries and their owners gained more wealth and prestige, however, so did their ex-libris bookplates. Pictorial imagery became as important as the wording and titles and the finished work of art came to stand as the owner's claim to posterity. Before long, famous artists were commissioned by prominent collectors to make their ex-libris art and during the centuries such masters as Durer, Holbein, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rockwell Kent all contributed significantly to this great form of art.
	The golden age for the ex-libris print, however, occurred during the twentieth century. Collecting ex-libris etchings and wood engravings reached such a peak during this time that many artists in Europe and America devoted themselves almost exclusively to this area. Such countries as Holland, Germany, France, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary formed strong and vibrant ex-libris societies and associations.
