Description

A pictorial bookplate on sepia paper with black ink. There's an open book with the headline "The Book of Ruth" on both pages. There are two strands of wheat beneath the book. Below that is a question "Where hast thou gleaned today? and where hast thou wrought?". On the bottom is the name "Ruth Seligman" bigger and bolder than the rest of the text but the same as "Ex Libris" that's written on top.
