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 a printed paper with an abstract pattern made up of undulating lines, elongated patches, and abstract, spider-like motifs, executed with black and gray ink over a light brown ground. The patterns in the design seem to imitate those found on the skin of wild animals.
