Ex libris van het familiearchief Van Beresteijn 1908

This 1908 anonymous bookplate, or ex libris, features a circular design with a coat of arms, a helmet and crest, and the inscription "VAN BERESTEIJN". Ex libris are small designs, often printed, that were used to identify the owner of a book. This particular example features a traditional design, commonly seen in bookplates, and would have been pasted to the inside cover of a book.
