1_65_DOlier.jpg

A heraldic-style bookplate in black ink on ivory paper with a detailed coat-of-arms separated into four quadrants. The upper left and lower right quadrants both feature what appears to be three flowers or leaves, the upper right quadrant features three columns topped by birds, and the lower right features three birds without columns. 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.
