Pictorial art, as was stated by the Italian bookmark collector Olindo DALIANA, is the most reliable source of information on the history of bookmarks. We have found the idea so fascinating that we have devoted a special page to it. You are kindly invited to visit it and join in this exciting way of collecting historic bookmarks.
We open this picture gallery with the work by the Italian painter of genius.
