A Latin edition of Julius Caesar's Commentaries printed in Milan by the printer Antonio Zarotto, held by the Boston Public Library, which supplies the bookplate-style emblem shown here. The picture is a bookplate in a wreath border, with two nude figures flanking an open book and a shield-like crest, lettered with the Trustees of the Public Library and the City of Boston dates 1852 to 1878, and a designer could take its symmetrical laurel wreath and classical emblem layout as a model for institutional seals.

Caesar, Julius
