A decorative bookplate in a woodcut style depicts a hand emerging from behind gnarled, thorny roots to hold a flaming torch upright. The background shows a night sky with stars and stylized clouds. Roses on thorny stems adorn the top frame. The German word for library and the name of the owner are integrated into the graphic design.
