Ex Libris; Carroll Atwood Wilson
[figure description] 444EAF. Endpaper with Advertisement & Bookplate: an
outer-most border consists of a dark line forming a rectangle. This
rectangular area contains an ornate filigree pattern and three heraldic
shields, in a line next to one another, along the bottom of that
patterned, rectangular area. The top of each shield is tilted to the
left. The shield on the left has two crowns on the top, an open book in
the center, and one crown on the bottom. The shield in the center has
an image of an open right hand within a smaller shield in the middle,
surrounded by a chevron above and below it; six birds of the same type
appear on the shield, with three along the top, two between the chevrons
and on either side of the open hand, and one on the bottom. The shield
on the right has a circular seal, which appears to include the image of
a globe and a motto. The patterned, rectangular area also encloses a
smaller, centered, blank rectangle which contains the captions of “Ex
Libris” and “Carroll Atwood Wilson”.[end figure description]
