A pictorial bookplate on off white paper with black ink for the Harvard College Library. This bookplate is in the form of a building shape. There's a dome top and four columns. On the wall inside it says "In memory of Julian Palmer Welsh Class of 1897". There are two leaves alluding to be deer antlers resting at the bottom of the section. There's also the common Latin phrase "Ve Ri Tas" meaning truth with the three books in the dome of the building.
