A circular bookplate emblem is centered on the page. In the middle, a pelican is shown in its piety, a traditional heraldic image where the bird pecks its own breast to feed its young with its blood. This image rests on a blue shield featuring three roses. The circular border contains Latin text.

original: "Philosophia Hermetica"; this refers to an esoteric philosophical tradition based on writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, often linked to alchemy and ancient mysteries.

The page acts as an endpaper with a decorative marbled pattern. The design is dendritic, resembling moss or branching veins, in shades of pale green and light purple on cream-colored paper. A white rectangular sticker or bookplate is fixed to the upper middle section of the page.
