A lit candle within a candle holder. Above, a right hand holds a snuffer in preparation to put out the flame. Flanking the flame is the phrase Good Night All's Well, while above the image is a banner with the phrase Paciencia Y Barajar; below a second banner, with another phrase Sursum Corda.
A square frame embroidered with leaves with a lit candle on top. A poem within the frame quotes "Reade me with the Eyes o' the Minde/The Goode is in mee see thou Flinde/And sith Bookes be but worke of Manne/The Evill in mee looke thou banne". -G. H. H. : 1877.
A shelf of books with a candle. Above the shelf, in quotes is written "Alere Flammam". Beneath the shelf is a line marked "No.", and at the bottom of the bookplate is a line marked "Baltimore", and "/18".
A scene of a large room, perhaps a study, in which a large desk and chair is at the center. There is a fireplace with a large dog lying couchant in front. Several decorations and ornaments surround the room. The image itself is framed by a border of thistle flowers and leaves. In the lower right-hand corner, next to the title text, is a small shield, divided in half and counter charged—with a chevron on each side; the left surrounded by three stars; two above, one below and three garbes of wheat of the right side; two above, one below. At the helm stands a man in metal armor.
