Mark Severin was the son of Fernand Severin (1876-1931), a poet. Described as one of the most outstanding engravers of his generation, Mark Severin specialised in fine miniature work, including postage stamps and book illustrations. He made close to five hundred bookplates, of which a great number are on erotic subjects. His ex-libris designs are among the most collectable in the field. This was the first of two bookplates Severin designed for Jeanne Rasdolsky; the other, of a centauress in wooded scenery, was made in 1981. He also designed three bookplates for her husband Jacques Rasdolsky between 1978 and 1987. She was a fellow countryman and passionate collector of bookplates.
