This 1908 ex libris, or bookplate, is a small, intricate design featuring a circular crest with the inscription "FAMILIE-ARCHIEF VAN BERESTEIJN". The crest depicts a boar, likely a symbol of the Van Beresteijn family, surrounded by ornate flourishes. This work exemplifies the art of bookplates, which serve as a personal identifier for book owners. While the artist remains unknown, the work reflects the meticulous detail and elegance of early 20th-century graphic design. The bookplate's small size, measuring just 34 mm in height and 29 mm in width, highlights the delicacy and precision of the design.
