Seventh 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 thin, interlacing branches with leaves, executed with dark brown, and bundles of semi-abstract flower buds, colored with light brown, upon which stand two stylized birds, colored with red and shades of brown, on a green ground. The second design is made up of semi-abstract, undulating wheat ears, colored with reddish-brown and purple, and offsetting branches, colored with purple and black, on a green ground. The third design is made up of a vertical garland with semi-abstract flowers and leaves, colored with green, purple, and shades of blue, on a vertical, light green stripe, between two thinner, vertical, orange stripes.
