Ninth 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 bundles of grapes, colored with purple and outlined with yellow, and leaves, colored with yellow, brown, gray, and shades of green. The second design is made up of large, scrolling leaves, colored with blue and outlined with light green, and thinner, scrolling leaves, colored with green, and fruits, colored with orange, on a dark greenish-gray ground. The third design is made up of interlacing leaves, colored with bluish-green and gray, and flowers, with petals colored with yellow and outlined with gray, and long pistils colored with brown and containing three red rosettes, on a dark green ground.
