EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite book plate of Carey Coke, a woman of great significance in English history. The intricate engraving, created by an unknown 18th-century English artist, beautifully captures the essence of Carey's role as both wife to Edward Coke and mother to Thomas Coke, who later became the esteemed 1st Earl of Leicester. The book plate itself is a work of art, adorned with decorative patterns and marbled textures that add depth and elegance to its design. It proudly displays the family's coat of arms, symbolizing their aristocratic status and heraldic heritage. This emblematic crest serves as a testament to their noble lineage. Carey Coke's book plate not only adds aesthetic charm but also carries historical importance. As a label affixed to her personal books or documents, it signifies ownership while adding an air of sophistication to her collection. It represents her love for literature and knowledge—a reflection of her refined taste and intellectual pursuits. Thanks to the generosity of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, this remarkable piece has been preserved for generations to appreciate. Its presence reminds us not only of Carey Coke herself but also offers insight into an era when such personalized book plates were treasured possessions among aristocracy.
