A vertically oriented black-inked print on cream paper features a symmetrical arrangement of unfurling scrolls. At the top, bold serif letters spell JOHN CLARK DEAN. Centered below, an owl perches on an ornate hourglass before an open book filled with wobbly, script-like markings and fine vertical hatching. Lower scrolls display Ex Libris in stylized Gothic lettering flanked by DATE and NVMBER. The year '06 sits in open space beside the hourglass base.
