Description
A pictorial bookplate in black ink on white paper. There is a tree which spells with its branches the words "Ex Libris/As you learn teach/as you get give/as you receive distribute". On one of the lower branches sits a woman. The tree is beside a view of the sun rising above mountains. The tree's branches continue out to frame the image, and at bottom, spells out "Florence Forsberg".
