Ouvrage destiné aux fabricants et dessinateurs de soieries... et Papiers Peints..." This plate contains four designs for textiles, executed with black inside four squares, possibly emulating fabric swatches. The first design is made up thin, undulating branches with dots and large, semi-abstract flowers with scrolling borders, and offsetting scrolling leaves. The second design is made up of interlacing, semi-abstract branches with rectangles and dots, and semi-abstract scrolling leaves. The third design is made up of branches with stylized fruits and large, exotic flowers. The final design is made up of thin bundles with stylized flowers and leaves.
