Owner: North,

Description: Ex-Libris with the coat of arms and the family motto of the North family, an English aristocratic family headed by the Earl of Guilford: a shield with a lion surrounded by three French lilies, held by two chained dragons and topped with a crown; the exlibris could have belonged to three members of the family: Francis North, Frederick North (although Frederick is less likely because he only carried the title of earl for the last two years of his life), or George Augustus North
