Bouquets et Frondaisons (Flowers and Foliage), Pl. 11
Eleventh 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 thin, interlacing branches with leaves, colored with dark bluish-green and green, and bundles of semi-abstract berries (?), colored with black and shades of blue, on an orange ground with brown dashes and curved lines. The second design is made up of undulating, blue branches with semi-abstract flowers and leaves, executed with maroon, green, and blue, on a light brown ground with orange leaves. The third design is made up of bundles of stylized flowers, executed with silver and gold, and leaves, colored with green, on a cream background with diagonal rectangles, outlined with gray and blue, colored with black, and containing a small, golden rectangle in the center.
