An island consisting of a thick mass of flora surrounds much of a rock-like object, on which is the title text of this bookplate. Across still waters a sailing vessel can be seen in the distance; even further, a castle.

"Died Feb. 20, 1895" underlined in ink, verso, left below pencil inscription. and This presentation photo of Douglass appears to have been presented by the photographer to Miss Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) of Rochester, N.Y., abolitionist and suffragette. Miss Anthony showed Mr. Douglass to his seat when he arrived, on the afternoon of February 20, 1895 at the Washington D.C.
