Second 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 two ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of squares with undulating borders, colored with white and outlined with aquamarine, containing square bouquets of semi-abstract roses, colored with pink, orange, white, and green, flanked by thin, undulating, black thorns, separated by undulating branches of semi-abstract, eye-shaped leaves, colored with white and purple, and outlined with dark purple, flanked below by two aquamarine stripes, bordered by two thinner stripes of white and dark purple color, on a purple ground. The second design is made up of semi-abstract trees with dark green and blue leaves and bundles of round, semi-abstract fruits or flowers, colored with orange and purple, outlined with black, and flanked to the left by abstract motifs outlined with black, green, purple, and orange, and colored with cream and purple and green dots, on a purple ground.
