This is a fifteenth-century Latin poetry anthology of Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius and Statius, printed in Vicenza by Giovanni di Reno and Dionysius Bertochus. The picture is a Boston Public Library ex libris seal, a wreathed roundel showing two classical figures flanking a shield with an open book beneath the text 'Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1852-1878'. A designer might take from it the symmetrical, laurel-wreath framing and the balanced allegorical figures used in library bookplates.
