cartouche ☜☞ orla


It is not unusual to see a stamp, typically oval in shape, on a suelta (usually on the first page, less often on the last) showing personal, library, or bookseller ownership. Some libraries reproduce the text within the cataloguing record and describe the stamp as "within a cartouche." For the items catalogued by our team (Hispanic Society of America, University of Maryland, and others) we have noted "oval stamp" in the Local Notes field.
