[figure description] 464EAF. Paste-Down Endpaper with Bookplate: heraldry figure
with a green tree on top and shield below. There is a small gray shield
hanging from the branches of the tree, with three blue figures on that
small shield. The tree stands on a base of gray and black intertwined
bars, referred to as a wreath in heraldic terms. Below the tree is a
larger shield, with a black background, and with three gray, diagonal
stripes across it; these diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in
heraldic terms. There are three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down
the middle of the center stripe (or bend), with green veins in the
leaves. Note that the colors to which this description refers appear in
some renderings of this bookplate; however, some renderings may appear
instead in black, white and gray tones.[end figure description]
