[Description: Bookplate: heraldry figure with a green tree on top and shield
below. There is a small gray shield hanging from the branches of the
tree, with three blue figures on that small shield. The tree stands on
a base of gray and black intertwined bars, referred to as a wreath in
heraldic terms. Below the tree is a larger shield, with a black
background, and with three gray, diagonal stripes across it; these
diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in heraldic terms. There are
three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down the middle of the center
stripe (or bend), with green veins in the leaves. Note that the colors
to which this description refers appear in some renderings of this
bookplate; however, some renderings may appear instead in black, white
and gray tones.
Bookplate: an outer-most border consists of a dark line forming
a rectangle. This rectangular area contains an ornate filigree pattern
and three heraldic shields, in a line next to one another, along the
bottom of that patterned, rectangular area. The top of each shield is
tilted to the left. The shield on the left has two crowns on the top,
an open book in the center, and one crown on the bottom. The shield in
the center has an image of an open right hand within a smaller shield in
the middle, surrounded by a chevron above and below it; six birds of the
same type appear on the shield, with three along the top, two between
the chevrons and on either side of the open hand, and one on the bottom.
The shield on the right has a circular seal, which appears to include
the image of a globe and a motto. The patterned, rectangular area also
encloses a smaller, centered, blank rectangle which contains the
captions of "Ex Libris" and "Carroll Atwood Wilson".]
