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 ornamental designs with bundles of different stylized and exotic flowers. In the center is a bundle of roses, two of them fully on bloom, several smaller rose buds, and leaves. Around them are stylized flowers of different kinds, some of them seemingly exotic, rendered with pearls, stipples, and eyes, with petaloids decorated with smaller leaves or pineapple patterns, and with pearls. Some bundles also contain fruits: a pear, and bundles of grapes or stylized berries. The designs are executed with black ink on thin, light brown paper.
