A Christian Epistle on Prayer

A circular bookplate for "Hermetic Philosophy" (original: Philosophia Hermetica). It features a white pelican in its piety, a traditional symbol of self-sacrifice where the bird feeds its young from its own breast. The pelican is perched atop a small heraldic shield containing three roses. The scene is enclosed in a blue oval, surrounded by a green circular border containing the gilded text: Hermetic Philosophy.
