They are small in size because they are prepared by considering the book dimensions. As a result of the invention of the printing press and the reproducibility of the books, the art of ex-libris developed in the 16th century and gained considerable demand These rare artifacts, which contain all the subtleties of the artistic style of the period, were designed by respected original print artists for mostly famous lawyers, writers, statesmen, scientists, doctors and libraries.
