Does this look familiar to anyone? I feel that it might be a logo for a small press.
Thanks for any help.

It reads ALTUM NOLI RAPERE RICE and basically means Do Not Support The Destruction Of Things, the damaged tree being illustrative.

The motif with a tree and a motto goes at least back to Stephanus/Estienne in the 16th century. But the on the volume I have the motto seems to read ‘Noli altum sapire’. Compare the modern Elzivier logo.
