Description

A calligraphic and pictorial bookplate in black ink on sepia tinted paper, featuring a wreath-like frame of flowers, foliage, and ribbons with written music on them. There is a book propped open on top of another book toward the bottom of this frame. The open pages say the words "God said Let there be Light". There is a small bird toward the top of the frame, perhaps a dove, and it holds a clover in its beak. Central to the frame, the words "Ex Libris/Muriel Mansfield Morrison" are written in script.
