A bookplate in the shape of a shield. It has three bat wings in the middle, with a small lion above. At the top is another bat wing with black spots on it. The phrase 'nocte volamus' is at the bottom.

🦇 Nocte Volamus = We Fly by Night 🦇

The best motto to have around #Halloween time for your heraldic bookplate. This particular bookplate comes from our Charles Hall Crouch collection of heraldic bookplates, which encompasses around 30-40,000 bookplates in 73 boxes!
