A 1522 Venetian printed treatise on Roman coinage and money by Guillaume Budé, published by the Aldine press and dedicated to Jean Grolier, a French royal secretary and collector. The picture is a bookplate rather than an illustration from the text: a small engraved interior of a library with a seated reader at a desk, framed above a printed label reading Harvard College Library from the library of Murray Antony Potter. A designer might take from it the dense, shadowed engraving of a book-lined room, with its orderly perspective and framed inscription panel as a model for period ex libris design.
