Book plates are page illustrations, pictures, or photographs, that are printed separately from the text of a book, but they are bound in during production. Pre-1960’s, bookplates had no writing or images on the reverse. In order to save money by the publishers, the majority of bookplates since the 1960’s have either writing on the bookplate, usually the title of the painting, and/or writing and images on the reverse. Due to the process used for platings, bookplates retain the color, texture, and intensity of the original painting.

Artwork description by the museum (© - Art Institute Chicago - www.artic.edu) Interrupted Reading is among the most compelling of Camille Corot’s late figure paintings. Corot almost never exhibited these studies of the human form, preferring instead to publicize the idyllic landscapes that were his specialty. To emphasize the private nature of Interrupted Reading, Corot enclosed his model within the protective environment of the artist’s studio. The mood of the painting is introspective and somewhat melancholic, the very essence of the Romantic sensibility. The muse-like image of a woman reading a book was a popular one in nineteenth-century art, but Corot chose to show his model pausing, looking up from this activity. Having spent a number of years in Italy and being a lover of everything Italian, the artist often furnished his models with Italianate costumes such as the one worn here. Whereas Corot’s subject matter is traditional, his technique is not. With direct and bold brushwork, he explored the human form as a construction of masses that support and balance one another. This broad handling is complemented by the artist’s obvious delight in detail—the ribbon in the model’s hair, the delicate earrings, the deep folds in the skirt. Here he combined a profound sense of formal structure with the dreamy softness and intimacy that characterize his most famous landscapes.

It was shown in a study at George Washington University that when men were talking with women, they interrupted 33 percent more often than when they were talking with men. The men interrupted women 2.1 times during a three minute conversation. That number dropped to 1.8 when they spoke to other men.
