Date Unknown / Creator Unknown
Collection: The Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection
A pictorial-style bookplate in black ink on ivory paper featuring a sketch of a snail in the bottom left corner, with a larger spiral shape that may be the fiddlehead of a fern taking up the rest of the bookmark. The image is shaded with crosshatching, and the upper corners have shapes that may be a lowercase i and k. The name Wiechel is handwritten by the collector on the bookplate mount.
