Description

An etched pictorial bookplate on light sepia paper that has brown stains with black ink in a collage like style. In the middle is a banner saying "Ex-Libris Frank Leven Albert Gerbode". Above that is the medical symbol, a staff with wings on top and snakes coiled around along the pole. On the bottom a church is drawn on the left and on the right it's a close up view of columns (same one as BA182). There are five skulls on the bottom part of the frame.
