This bookplate shows the badge of the Royal Irish Rifles above the family arms of Captain Bowen-Colthurst – an amalgamation of the Bowen and Colthurst coats of arms. The Latin motto translates as ‘Just and Resolute’ and comes from Horace, Carmina (III, 3.1): ‘The just man who is resolute will not be turned from his purpose, either by the misdirected rage of his fellow citizens, or by the threats of an imperious tyrant.’ Colthurst loosely translated this as ‘The Triumph of Right’.
