A heraldic-style bookplate in black ink on ivory paper with a detailed coat-of-arms separated into four quadrants.

The shield is topped by a helmet with a bird holding a stalk of wheat. Below is a banner which reads “La Bonte de Dieu”, which translates from the French to "The Goodness of God." Beneath this is the name D'Olier in a Gothic font.
