[Bookplate for Henry Mott by J. E. H. MacDonald]
Description
Black ink. Azure (blue) escutcheon charged with a argent (silver) crescent. Above the escutcheon is a straight wreath, an eight-point star and the originator's name. Below a waving banner displays the originator's Latin motto. All of the elements cited above are framed by a shield shaped border. Additionally, the paper is cut at skewed angles, causing the image to appear lopsided.

The biography of Henry Mott is unknown, however, the crescent indicates that either he himself was the second son, or a direct ancestor on his paternal side (for whom the shield would have been designed) was a second son.
