This is an Ex Libris, a bookplate, depicting the coat of arms of Van Beresteijn. The design features a shield with a griffin, flanked by two winged lions. It was created by an anonymous artist between 1886 and 1946. Ex Libris are often used to identify the owner of a book or collection and are a fascinating reflection of personal identity and heraldry.
