Fifth plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates, titled "Bouquets et Frondaisons" (Flowers and foliage), created by Émile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by Charles Massin and in New York by Brentano's around 1925. The plate contains three ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of bundles of semi-abstract flowers, colored with blue and outlined with light brown, and leaves, colored with dark brown and outlined with green, on a purple ground with a grid made up of thin vertical and horizontal silver lines. The second design is made up of a vertical undulating garland with semi-abstract flowers, colored with blue and shades of green, and leaves, colored with light brown and outlined with gray, on a vertical white stripe between two thinner, vertical blue stripes. The third design is made up of alternating black vases holding bundles of two large, semi-abstract flowers, executed with silver, orange, and black, and orange leaves, wrapped by thin ropes with two tassels, colored with orange, on a checked ground made up of overlapping gray and white rectangles on a purple ground.
