Nineteenth plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates with designs for textiles and carpets, titled "Suggestions pour étoffes et tapis: 60 motifs en couleur" (Suggestions for stuffs and carpets: 60 color motifs), created by E.A. Séguy and published in Paris by Massin & Cie in 1923. The plate contains three designs with semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature, executed with lively colors. The first design is made up of groups of vertical, undulating stripes, colored alternatingly with black and white, transversed by horizontal groups of zig-zagging stripes, colored with blue, green, and white, flanked by large, semi-abstract flowers with yellow petals and dark red and blue sepals, flanked in turn by two large, scrolling, semi-abstract leaves, colored with green, on a blue ground. The second design is made up of thick, vertical yellow stripes with alternating, blue leaves, separated vertically by semi-circles, and horizontally by rectangles, colored with white, green, yellow, brown, and black. The third design is made up of strips of overlapping eye-shapes, colored with white, dark red, blue, and black, flanked to the sides by thin, long, pointy leaves, colored with black and blue, separated by thin, vertical yellow stripes.
