A heraldic-style institutional bookplate in black ink on ivory paper, with a small coat-of-arms in each corner and a larger one in the center. The large shield contains a banner reading, "Vox Clamantis In Deserto," which translates from Latin to "The voice of one crying in the wilderness," and a sketch of a landscape with a building, a field, some trees, and five figures. Clockwise from the top left, the other shields contain: a crown with three crosses, a stag head, a lion rampant with two boar heads and an arrow, and three wheels. The space between shields is filled with pine cones and needles, and there is a simple border around them. At the bottom is the text "Dartmouth College Library" in a blackletter font.
