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 several bundles of small, stylized flowers and leaves, some also with fruits. Some of the bundles also have more figurative shapes, such as eyes, cornucopias, feathers and cones, which take the shape of flowers and leaves in the bundles. These ornamental designs were likely to be used a patterns to be embroidered or printed on different types of textiles, or as decorative elements for other designs. They are executed with black ink over thin, light brown paper.
