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 two rectangles with ornamental designs for patterns with interlacing strapwork. The first contains semi-abstract, S-curved leaves, and a grid made up of diagonal scalloping lines with interlacing strips running through them, on a ground executed with thin, vertical, black lines; the strapwork is decorated with small scrolling offsets. The second design contains semi-abstract exotic flowers and leaves, and diagonal scalloping lines with scrolling motifs, over a black ground.
