Harry Goodhue's bookplate for Amy

(circa 1901-02)

                                

 

This bookplate appears on page 27 of Book-Plates of To-Day, edited by Wilbur Macey Stone (New York: Tonnelé & Co., 1902).  Another book by Stone published that year says the following about Amy's work:

Miss Amy Sacker of Boston, whose book-cover designs all lovers of decoration know and admire, has also made a number of book-plates. The best known is the one for the Loring Reading Room. This shows a fine old ship full of action, and rich in decorative feeling. Miss Sacker's mediaeval students, in their picturesque garments are always interesting. The plate for Mr. Swan pleasingly typifies the owner's profession.
