Page of book containing 185 leaves with a collection of lithographs, aquatints, engravings, and other media, with ornamental designs published by Fleury Chavant in Paris, part of the publication "Guide du Dessinateur de l'industrie: une macédoine de dessins variés , tels que fleurs, ornemens, etc. ... Ouvrage destiné aux fabricants et dessinateurs de soieries... et Papiers Peints..." This plate contains six designs for textiles (?) with semi-abstract and floral motifs. The first consists of semi-abstract waves, made up of a vertical strip of scrolling branches, framed by a thin, undulating line. The second is made up of an undulating ribbon with amoeba-like shapes outlined with black, some filled with black stripes or dots, over a black ground, with offsetting irregular scales, colored with black, framed alternatingly by ovals made up of black scales, containing small bundles of stylized flowers and leaves, over a black vertical stripe. The third design is made up of clusters of white pearls, outlined with black, over a clear ground with thin, vertical, black stripes. The fourth design is made up of interlacing, black garlands with white amoeba-like shapes, over a clear background with thin, diagonal, black stripes and black dots of different sizes. The fifth design is made up of a stripe of rectangles, filled alternatingly with stylized S-curves and thin, diagonal, black stripes with dots, framed by two black stripes of the same width as the rectangles. The final design is made up of interlacing, stylized leaves over a black background, partially filled with clear stripes or dots, and with stylized flowers, leaves, or with white ovals containing small rosettes on stems with leaves.
