Walter Frank Perkins was a longtime collector of British agricultural books who gifted his collection of 17th to 19thc books and periodicals to the University Coillege of Southampton in 1846. This fragment includes his personal bookplate as well as a bookplate for the Perkins Agricultural Library. The work is possibly a volume of Mordant's Complete Stewart, 1761, whose inside covers offer a good example of rock pattern marbled paper.
