Thirteenth 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 two ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of bundles of semi-abstract flowers, colored with purple, red, and shades of green, and leaves, colored with gray, blue and green, on a black ground, and framed by a blue rectangle inside a larger, black rectangle. The second design is made up of two oval frames, one colored with purple and containing a bundle of semi-abstract flowers and leaves, colored with shades of purple and orange on a dark green ground, and the other colored with blue and containing interlacing branches with leaves, colored with blue and bluish-green on a brown ground with blue and green dots, placed above two light green rectangles.
