Exlibris Sammlung der Malerin Marie Meierhofer-Lang

Marie Meierhofer-Lang, 1884-1925, was a passionate painter. While still very young, she was able to briefly train at an academy in Munich, and later deepened her studies at the internationally renowned Académie Colarossi and with the private teacher Léon Eduard in Paris, even though she was already a mother of three daughters. During this time, she must have compiled this interesting and rich collection of bookplates. They come from various Swiss artists, some of whom belonged to Marie’s circle of acquaintances, such as Emil Anner and Gregor Rabinovitch from Baden in Aargau, Marie’s hometown. This unique collection of early 20th-century bookplates is an important testimony of its time.
