The bookplate includes the unofficial version of the University seal, which was drawn in 1916, with the donor's name typed in. The seal depicts the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, in the foreground with the Rotunda and East Lawn filling the space behind her. On the left side of the image, an olive branch appears in the upper foreground. The bookplate has an off-white background with the seal printed in dark blue ink. Second, a bookplate founded in memory of Alfred H. Byrd. The bookplate is an ornate seal for the Byrd family. At the center of the seal is a shield with six sections: Section one is a medieval cross with a bird in each quadrant; Section two shows a unicorn standing on its back legs in a fighting stance; Section three is an iron cross on a dotted background; Section four has three heads of bulls, one larger in the foreground with two smaller ones above; Section five contains three crescent moons spread diagonally across a black banner; Section six replicates the first and is a medieval cross with a bird in each quadrant. To the left and right of the shield is a cornucopia horn of plenty. Above the shield is the head of a knight in armor with a bird perched, wings aloft, on the top of the knight. The knight's head is flanked by large curling leaves. Underneath the shield are two banners. The first is a latin motto. The second is a scroll with the name of Byrd ancestor, William.[end figure description]

One man is standing, with his back to the cobbled street and a large tree, and pointing his raised sword at the chest of the other.
