A printed circular emblem or bookplate with a central oval. The oval depicts a "Pelican in her Piety," a traditional symbol of self-sacrifice where a pelican is shown wounding its own breast to feed its young with its blood—often used in alchemical and religious contexts to represent transformation or devotion. The pelican and its nest sit atop a square base or shield containing four red roses. A sun with radiating beams shines from the top. Surrounding the central image is the text: HERMETIC PHILOSOPHY original Latin: "PHILOSOPHIA · HERMETICA".
