ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Engraved by the convict artist Samuel Clayton for Charles Izard Manigault (1795-1874), the bookplate is thought to be the earliest known Australian bookplate. Manigault, an American merchant, book and antiquarian collector from Chareleston, South Carolina, commissioned Clayton to produce the bookplate during a visit to Sydney in 1818.
