The Sequel to the Count of Gabalis

A rectangular white label is pasted into the center of the page. It features a central oval emblem. Inside the emblem, a white pelican is shown feeding its young with blood from its own breast. This is a motif known as the pelican in her piety. The nest sits atop a square pedestal or shield. This shield is decorated with four red roses arranged around a saltire, which is a diagonal cross. The background of the central scene is blue. Golden rays of light descend from a sun like semi circle at the top. The image is enclosed in a green oval border. The border is surrounded by circular text.
