In the upper portion of the bookplate is a large circle featuring an image of a globe with a large leafy tree growing at the top pole. Surrounding this is a border designed to look like a belt with a buckle. Within the border is the motto Veritas de Terra Orta Est. Further below, under the name of the plate's owner (and title text) reads If thou art borrowed by a friend right welcome shall he be to read, to study, not to lend but to return to me.
A circular image with a shield at the center, in which an argent chevron divides an azure field, with three argent stars above, and a rose beneath. At the helm, atop a crown, is a knight's helmet backed in leafing; at the crest is a three-quarter image of a warrior, clad in armor, and brandishing a banner. At the base of the shield are three medals. Surrounding the shield is a border with a motto (partially obscured by other images). A second motto appears on a banner below, which reads Spiandact Tapeir Neill. The shield is flanked by two gorged owls gardant.
