Geschichte der Erfindungen in allen Theilen der Wissenschaften und Künste von der ältesten bis auf die gegenwärtige Zeit : In alphabetischer Ordnung
A bookplate-style label from the Eisen-Bibliothek, a foundation library of the Georg Fischer company in Schaffhausen, shows a red wax seal of a standing figure above the Latin motto Viris ferrum donantibus. The record is a German history of inventions in alphabetical order, by Johann August Donndorff, published by G. Basse in 1817. The pictures are four near-identical scans of the same label, so a designer would find only one distinct image: a red seal motif with a Latin motto and a corporate library imprint.
