A vertically oriented black-inked print on cream paper depicts a large sailing ship facing our right, with an ornate coat of arms on its main sail navigating choppy waters. Two distant vessels sail under puffy clouds. Scaly sea creatures flank the central scene, tails curving upward. Below, a curved border encloses the text "WILLIAM B. FOSTER" and "EX-LIBRIS." At the bottom center, an intricate seal includes the year 1903.
