Description

A pictorial bookplate in black ink on sepia tinted paper for J.B. Alemany. "Ex-Libris" is used to show who the book owner is. There is a man-like creature with pointed ears, nose, and chin, looking at a miniature woman through a magnifying glass. The woman is small enough to where her body is laid out across an open book that says "ABC".
