Printed in green ink, a nude woman, as she scatters roses about, is tugging on a large cloth that is wrapped around a male figure. Behind the male is the top half of a skull on a book. They are in a largely grassy area with small hills and a tree in the background. A phrase beneath the images reads Make the most of what we may yet spend.
An open cabinet filled with books. There is an hourglass on each of the cabinet's doors. Above the cabinet is the quote "The historian's one task is to tell the thing as it happened." -Lucian. Beneath is an insignia in which two hands are holding a caduceus.
