Cary Memorial Library in Wayne

This design for Walter M. Aikman's own bookplate is more typical of his work than the plate he designed for Elizabeth Hyatt.

It shows a detailed landscape with a pond, swan and human figure surrounded by an elaborate frame.

The Latin inscription "Sub Robore Virtus" translates as "Virtue Under Strength."
