This *Ex libris* (bookplate) designed by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet in 1917 for D. Goedkoop features a stylized ship with a crown on top and the inscription "1867-1917" below it. The ship sits within a border of stylized, swirling branches and two mythical beasts. The bookplate, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a small but intricate example of art nouveau, a style that often featured stylized natural forms. The inscription suggests that this bookplate may commemorate a special anniversary.
