Got curious about the gorgeous and well-used books I got from my mother a few years ago, and looked some up. Evidently people are selling pages out of this one on eBay! [1924 edition, turns out] I am as sure as I can be for someone who can’t be proven wrong, but I believe it likely belonged to her father, who was a graphic artist like myself; she was a painter, like my sister.

Old books are often cut up for the plates in them. People frame and display them. I have rescued a few pre-surgery. I have few with prints pulled by the artist in them.
I guess I’m just surprised I own something like that and didn’t realize. I worked at a vintage frame shop for years- we did it! ????
Hm.. that was meant to be :). Still learning. Awesome community here.
i have a 1926 'Art of the Poster' somewhere. its a cool magazine with excellent design history info.

Love that camouflaged warship in the docks armed to the teeth.
