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 scene from within a room in which a cherub is sitting on a cloth covered table covered with books, medical equipment, and sheet music. A cello leans against the table. The cherub is facing towards a window behind the table to a scene that consists of a river with boats, a bridge, and a town in the background. In the upper right-hand are two coats of arms, each with elaborate and design. The motto within these crests reads O Bioc Bpaxyc H Ae Texnh Makph. Surrounding the main image is a large urn with several flowers to the left; decoratively twisted ribbons surrounding the top and right-hand sides.
