A man, back to the viewer, is seen carrying a caduceus in his left hand. In the center of each border of the square that frames is a different image. At the top of the square is lion framed in a coat of arms; at the bottom is an open book with the title text upon the pages. On both the left and right sides are closed books with long stemmed flowers behind each. The book title on the left reads Il Purga Torio, and the title on the right reads Il Para Diso.
A seated donkey wearing academic regalia reading a book. Several other books surround it, as well as a crest. Trees can be seen through a window on the right-hand side of the image.
Two nude children joining hands in front of a pillar, and holding up an oval reading Ex Libris. Above them is a large open book. Bookmarks on either side of the book show the bookplate's title text.
A caduceus stands before a drawing of the female reproductive organs inside a dark circle. Surrounding this are the names Harvey, Osler, Sims, Lister, Curie, Holmes, and Matas. Beneath the caduceus is the phrase Ancora Imparo. A larger circle circumferences this with the bookplate's title text, as well as a pair of rabbits and a pair of rats. Beneath the center image is a stack of books with the subject titles of Music, Medical History, Obstetrics, and Gynecology. The seal of Tulane University is to the left, and a lit lantern is to the right.
