Title	[Bookplate for Wallace Wilson and Ethel Wilson]
Date Created	[between 1900 and 1999]
Description	Executed in green ink on a white background, this bookplate depicts a peaceful scene of nature redolent of British Columbia.

Overlooking the lake is a cabin emitting smoke from its roof, while in the lake's center is a fishing boat with two occupants. The text is placed beneath this scene and is framed in each of its four corners by an open book and scroll at the top, and closed books at the bottom.
