P. K Yonge Library of Florida History
In memory of Junius E. Dovell
This is a copy of a bookplate that is unique in the true sense of the word--it is the only one of its kind ever printed. When Junius E. Dovell, former professor of history at the University of Florida, died in 1986, his widow asked that funds be sent in his memory to the University of Florida Libraries in lieu of flowers. With the funds received, the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History purchased a book worth $3,500.00 and placed inside it a bookplate specially printed for that one volume.
