Reflections: Various Variations on Old Themes

A rectangular ex-libris (bookplate) printed in black and white. The illustration depicts a winged, griffin-like creature harnessed to a small two-wheeled cart. The cart is adorned with a decorative monogram consisting of the Cyrillic letters "V.K." The creature holds a book in its mouth by a chain; the book's cover is inscribed with the Latin phrase:
"Hic
itur
ad
astra"
The entire scene is set above a black banner containing white text. The bookplate is pasted onto a larger sheet of brown paper.
