Penny Dreadful Cover — page 2: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

# Analysis This is a **bookplate or library ownership label** from the Barton Library collection. The page features a heraldic coat of arms depicting boars or similar creatures, topped with a crest and bearing the motto "INDE ET FORTITUDNE" (roughly "by integrity and fortitude"). It identifies the book as belonging to Thomas Pennant Barton and notes it was received by the Boston Public Library in May 1873, with the instruction "Not to be taken from the Library." The handwritten accessions number and shelf mark appear at top. This is not a page of the penny dreadful itself, but rather a cataloging/ownership record inserted into a bound volume.
