This is a bookplate, a small engraved design, created by Paul Revere, the famous silversmith and patriot, for Andrew Oliver. The bookplate features a coat of arms surrounded by ornate flourishes, a dove perched on the crest, and a banner with the inscription "Pax Queritur Bello" (Peace Is Sought in War). Revere's bookplates are highly sought after and are considered an important part of his artistic legacy. This piece is an example of Revere's mastery of engraving and design.
