Seventeenth 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 with semi-abstract flowers and leaves, executed with black and shades of green, with silver details, over a checked background colored with green and orange. The second design is made up of thin, undulating branches, colored with black, with scrolling offsets with leaves, colored with brown and green, and small, round fruits, colored with purple, on an orange ground. The third design is made up of alternating thin, silver circles, containing smaller circles, outlined with green and filled with white and bundles of rosettes and stylized leaves, colored with black, blue, and shades of green, on a green ground.
