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 an ornamental desin made up of strips of C- and S-curves, some fragments containing honeycomb patterns, and with thin branches with rosettes and small leaves interlacing around them, on the lower left corner. This design is flanked by a large bundle with stylized flowers of different sizes and leaves, and with thin, undulating branch offsets with small leaves. On the upper part of the page are four thin bundles with flowers and leaves of different kinds. All the designs are outlined with black ink on thin, light brown paper. A grid has been drawn on the lower right corner with pencil.
