A pictorial-style bookplate in black ink on ivory paper with a floral pattered border. The central image is of a large cross on an altar in the foreground, with two buildings in the background. The building to the left is a mosque, and to the right is a Buddhist temple. Above is a scroll with "Ex libris," and below is a box with the name Frederick Bohn Fisher. Beneath the name box is a pair of lilies and a small item reminiscent of a mezuzah.
