Description

A pictorial bookplate on light sepia tinted paper with black ink for Gretta G. Rowell. There is a big boat sailing in the water passing by a shore. The shore looks to be a cliff with a tree near the edge. There is a seagull hunting in the water and two seagulls in the sky. The banner that has the name also has the year "1932" written. In the bottom right corner of the bookplate is an open book that says Canada on both pages.
