About this work

This image shows a coat of arms with a shield featuring four animals: a boar, a deer, and two dragons. Above the shield is a bird, and below it is a ribbon with the inscription "MO DESTIA VICTR IX." The coat of arms is surrounded by decorative elements, including leaves and a circular design at the top. The image appears to be a bookplate, with the name "John Sullivan" inscribed below the coat of arms. The style of the image suggests that it may be from the 18th or 19th century.
