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 three designs for textiles (?) with patterns made up of semi-abstract flowers and leaves. The first design contains a diagonal stripe with lozenges with semi-abstract flowers, scales with small bundles of semi-abstract flowers, and other branches and semi-abstract flowers and leaves. The second design is made up of semi-abstract scrolling leaves and semi-abstract flowers. The third design is made up of thin, semi-abstract branches with thin, offsetting thorns, and semi-abstract fruits and flowers. These designs would have likely been used for printed textiles or wallpapers.
