Fourth plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates, titled "Bouquets et Frondaisons" (Flowers and foliage), created by Émile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by Charles Massin and in New York by Brentano's around 1925. The plate contains three ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of vertical, undulating garlands with leaves, some colored with bluish-green, and some decorated with abstract patterns executed with blue, white, and shades of green, on a checked ground with black and cream squares. The second design is made up of a bundle of stylized flowers, colored with black and shades of green, and leaves, colored with dark shades of green, on an orange ground with light green dots, framed by a dark green rectangle, inside a larger, dark blue rectangle. The third design is made up of a bundle of semi-abstract exotic flowers, executed with shades of purple and orange, with black details, and leaves, executed with dark bluish-green, on a black ground.
