Cosmography

The image shows the inside front cover of a book featuring a marbled paper pattern in shades of brown, yellow, and green. Pasted in the center is a white bookplate. The bookplate features a coat of arms: a shield containing a chevron with three chess rooks (two above, one below) and a chief containing an eagle with wings displayed. Above the shield is a helmet with mantling, topped by a crest of a griffin's head. Below the shield is a ribbon scroll with the Latin motto "I REJOICE". At the bottom of the bookplate, the name "John Carter Brown" is printed in a blackletter (Gothic) typeface.
