Floréal, Pl. 17

Seventeenth plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates, titled "Floréal: Dessins & Coloris Nouveaux" (Floreal: New Designs and Colors), created by Emile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by A. Calavas in 1925 or earlier. The plate contains three ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design consists of a large flower with petals colored with abstract swatches colored with red and shades of brown, around a purple triangle with orange rectangles, and with a thin, undulating stem flanked by two leaves, colored with orange and purple intermittent lines, on a green background with alternating rows of rectangles, outlined with a darker shade of green, each with a dash on the center. The second design is made up of a vertical, undulating branch, colored with blue and with a checked pattern colored with silver, flanked alternatingly with semi-abstract flowers colored with spots colored with shades of red, blue and green, on a white background with horizontal, undulating stripes, colored with bluish-green. The third design is made up of alternating, black rectangles with thin, undulating branches, colored with gold, with a bundle of stylized flowers, colored with green, white, and purple, framed with white, two thin, undulating, purple lines, and a thin, orange line.
