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.
A skeleton and a stork each holding a cloth with a baby at center. A banner above, held up by two caducei, reads Non est Vivere, sed Valere, uta. Beneath the baby is Aesculapius standing on a stack of books.
Above the title text are three books; two upright, and one in the middle, lying flat. Upon the middle book is a branch of oak leaves and acorns. Behind the books is a large oval-shaped wall hanging—a wreath of leaves surrounds this, and a large caduceus is featured within.

Description:
The Yale insignia, including the phrase Lux et Veritas, at top center of a vertical rectangle surrounded by a decorative border. Beneath this reads "Gift of Dr. Lambert's nephews — Dr. Adrian Lambert B.A. 1930; Dr. John T. Lambert B.A. 1935; Dr. Samuel W. Lambert Jr. B.A. 1919; Dr. Dickinson W. Richards Jr. B.A. 1917." This bookplate is probably from the period when medical books were kept in a collection at Sterling Memorial Library, before the Yale Medical Library was built. Alexander Lambert received his BA from Yale in 1884, his Ph.B. from Yale in 1885, and his M.D. from Columbia in 1888.
