Bouquets et Frondaisons (Flowers and Foliage), Pl. 20
Twentieth 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 semi-abstract leaves, colored with shades of green and decorated with strips of silver dots, on a dark green ground with silver dots. The second design is made up of large, semi-abstract flowers, with striped, black and blue petals, and pistils with abstract motifs executed with black, blue, shades of green, and golden dots, large, semi-abstract leaves, colored with black, shades of green, and gold, and thin, undulating branches, colored with black and with small, golden leaves, on a light brown ground. The third design is made up of a pair of purple, undulating lines, the area enclosed by them colored with dark brown and decorated with small, golden dots, flanked by thin branches with leaves, filled with abstract motifs of brown, blue, yellow, and white colors, on a red ground.
