Can anyone identify the owner of this bookplate for me?
Square with the intertwined letters 'W' and 'V' surmounted by a baon's
coronet and around the edge the motto "Vernon semper viret".
Obviously a member of the Vernon family but who? We have a number of books
with this plate, many of them 16th C Italian books subsequently owned by
Sir Herbert Thompson.
Many thanks as ever.
