A pictorial-style personal bookplate in black and red ink on yellow paper with a simple border consisting of three lines. The central image is of a book and candelabra. The book is open and there is a bookmark draped across the left side with a seal at the bottom of it bearing the initials CR. In front of the book is a candelabra with three arms, and all three candles appear to have just been extinguished, with smoke rising from their wicks. Above the image is the text "Ex libris" in red ink, and below is the originator's name in red ink, with a banner below with "No" in red ink.
