Description

A pictorial bookplate in black ink on white paper features a portrait of a man within a rectangular frame, with "THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY FOUNDED 1887" inscribed above. Flanking the frame are decorative panels with floral and geometric moJPEGs. Below the portrait, there is presumably W.L. Newbury's own signature. A small seal enclosing a lamp includes the phrase "ABEUNT STUDIA IN MORES".
