Seventh plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates, titled "Floréal: Dessins & Coloris Nouveaux" (Floreal: New Designs and Colors), created by Emile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by A. Calavas in 1925 or earlier. The plate contains four ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of large, semi-abstract flowers, colored with bluish-green, orange, yellow, and shades of purple, on a green ground. The second design is made up of bundles of leaves, colored with aquamarine and blue, and semi-abstract flowers, colored with red and yellow, on a dark purple ground. The third design is made up of undulating branches with small leaves, colored with blue, and bundles of semi-abstract leaves, colored with orange and yellow, on a dark brown ground. The fourth design is made up of alternating strips of lozenges, colored with cream and light brown, and a thin, long vase, colored with blue, holding a bundle of stylized flowers, colored with cream, purple, and red, and leaves, colored with dark green, on the cream lozenges.
