Looking through a window, there is a sitting woman, holding a branch, with her hand on a book. On the table beneath her is a heart in a glass case, a candle, an hourglass and an open book. Beneath the image is the phrase Forever wilt thou love and she be fair.

At the center of this plate is a reproduction of Enrique Simonet's Autopsy, below which is written L'Anatomie du Coeur. Here the medical examiner is seen observing the heart presumably removed from the woman on the gurney in front of him. A note on the reverse side of the bookplate indicates that it was never used.
A microscope and a shelf full of books, with an open book in the forefront, are at the center of this plate. Above, surrounded by elaborate design, are two swords crossed with a lion supporting a cross at the center. Within this design is the motto Forte et Fidele.

A caduceus is at the center of this plate, flanked by a combined lightning bolt and a nuclear power symbol to the left and an older doctor's kit and bottles to the right. A double border consists of a bold, outer line with EKG-lines on the inside. An enclosed note states that Robert Frelick was the director of the isotope laboratory and a neighborhood family practice. He did consulting work for other chemical industries, reading all of their EKGs.
At the center of the bookplate, seven distinguished individuals are featured, with a laurel wreath surrounding the portrait. A caduceus and a quill pen intersect with each other in the background. Beneath the image is an open book; above is the motto Vita humana est sacra.

A Greek fret borders this bookplate that depicts a large, open room at the top, and a sacred flame upon an altar at center. The lower third contains text, which reads: "The Book Destroyed Architecture." "All mankind are on the scaffolding, every mind is a mason. The humblest stops up his hole or lays his stone. Every day a fresh course is laid." --Victor Hugo "Keep bright the sacred fire of education my children!" --Samuel W. French A.B.-M.D.
