Unusual Bookplate

I’ve never seen a bookplate that so prominently included a portrait of the owner before. The good (hirsute) doctor even stamped the title page of the book: “Private Library / O.V. Lawson M.D. / Seattle, Wash.” Guess he REALLY wanted people to know it was HIS book.
Found in THE NEW CENTURY READS BY GRADES: Book 3 (Rand McNally, 1901).

May I use this image in next week’s bookplate blog?
