Description
A pictorial bookplate on sepia tinted paper with black ink for E.K.B.. There is an illustration of a shooting star but there is a head where the star would be at the end. In the stream are stars and the dots in the initials are replaced with stars. Filling in the rest of the space in the unique shaped border, is another star that has beams coming off of it. The border goes into small squares on both bottom sides. In the left square is the letter "W" and in the right square is a year "'36."
