An etched pictorial bookplate on light sepia paper with faded brown stains and black ink. It's a picture of a small lake with lily pads and a cabin in the distance surrounded by trees and a hill behind it. There are leaves framing this bookplate and it frames a picture within of a closeup of a house. On the right of that is a shelf of books. On each side of the left and right top is a squirrel sitting there. The bottom of the bookplate are banners saying "Ex libris Marion Elizabeth Sproul".
