come on the part of George M. Dorsey, i

portant factor in the entertainment I

German Bibliophile,
The world's most valuable collection
cf printers' marks, 10.800 of them, has
been presented to the Library of Con
gress by the German bibliophile. Dr,
Otto H F Voilbehr
The collection of marks, which were
the symbols attached to the title page
of ancient books to identify the printer
or publisher, has been on display at ;
the library for a week Dr. Voilbehr
came to Washington shortly after his
exhibit opened to make the presenta
tion to Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian.
In making the presentation «Dr. j
Voilbehr bemoaned the fact that his ;
financial position did not warrant his
giving to the library also his valuable
collection of 3 000 incunabula, includ
ing a rare Gutenberg Bible. He stated
however, that if someone could be
found to pay for half the collection, he
would gladly make it a part of the \
permanent collection of rare and
ancient books at the library.
