| Summary: | Booksellers' label, which would have been pasted onto the front papers or end papers of a volume sold by A.M. Graham, featuring an image engraved by Burke, D'Olier St., Dublin [signed within plate 'Burke sculpt. D'Olier St.'] of Minerva, wearing a helmet and holding a spear in one hand and placing a laurel wreath on the head of a bust of Homer with the other. A scoll of paper in front of this scene reads: "A.M. Graham / Bookseller / 16 / College Green" with the word "Dublin" engraved beneath the image of an open volume. A globe is depicted in the left background, while Minerva's shield and another large volume is depicted in the right foreground.
