Collection: The Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection
A pictorial-style bookplate in blue ink on ivory paper, featuring an image of an eagle flying over a mountain with a book its talons. The text "Quanto mais se le, mas o espirito se eleva" is written across the mountain, and loosely translates from Portuguese to "The more you read, the more the spirit rises." The name Arnaldo Amadeau P. da Silva is written beneath.
