The bookplate of S. O. Maisel was made by the artist and inventor of the light orchestra G. I. Gidoni in December 1927, probably as a thank you for help in the implementation of his projects, and in particular, the “Light Monument” to the October Revolution. At the bottom of the bookplate there is the following phrase: “with a kerosene lamp IN MEMORY with the “dream” of a light theatre.”
