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 coat of arms which appears to be propped up against a leafed tree. A large beehive with several bees takes up most of the shield, and a lion holding a crescent is at the top. To the left of the shield is a caduceus; to the right is a globe and an open book. Below is the motto Non Vi Sed Arte.
