1_42_Copeland.jpg

A pictorial-style bookplate in brown ink on ivory paper featuring a knight on horseback with two castles in the distance. The knight and horse are facing right, and carrying an Ex libris banner. The knight is in full plate mail with a plumed helmet and a shield bearing a lion rampant. Beneath this image is a text box in which "S.B. Copeland" is written, and beneath that is a bookshelf with an open book propped on several other books in front of it. The whole is framed with an intricate border that resembles a carved wooden picture frame. On the bottom left is the text "BP-13", upside down and in a lighter color.
