Description:

Color plate depicting a symmetrical arrangement of stylized blue flowers and foliage on a white background, with a narrow border of repeating motifs along the top edge. The author offers the following comment:

The artistic introduction of the white lines on the dark ground, and the outline to flowers and leaves on the white ground, so as in each case to soften the transition, is worthy of remark.
