Sixteenth 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 semi-abstract flowers and leaves, colored with brown, green, and blue, over a purple stripe between two thinner dark green stripes. The second design is made up of a large roundel, colored with dark purple and framed by a thin light brown line and a thin white line, containing a bundle of semi-abstract flowers, colored with purple and shades of blue, and leaves, colored with green, on a light green ground. The third design is made up of alternating bundles of three stylized flowers and leaves, colored with dark bluish-green, purple, and brown, over a brown background with overlapping lozenges, colored with yellow, black, and white.
