Bouquets et Frondaisons (Flowers and Foliage), Pl. 1
First 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 alternating oval motifs, colored with gray and outlined with green, containing semi-abstract fountain motifs made up of rows of semi-abstract stones, outlined with black and colored with white, the inside of the fountains colored with green, and containing a semi-abstract cone in the center, flanked above by a stylized tree with black trunk and branches, its leaves colored with blue and outlined with green, on an orange ground. The second design is made up of semi-abstract trees with thin, undulating branches, executed with black and shades of brown, and semi-abstract leaves, executed alternatingly with green lines on white grounds, inside black outlines, and with dark green, over an orange ground. The third design is made up of thin, interlacing branches, colored with brown, with leaves, colored with brown and shades of green, and semi-abstract pinecones, colored with orange, purple, and green, on a blue ground with green horizontal stripes.
