content: Designs for two andirons (firedogs), two oval medallions (depicting a landscape on the left and a portrait of a woman on the right), and a central decorative incense burner with smoke, featuring neoclassical motifs including a fluted column, birds, putti, fruit, wave frieze, cartouches, flowers, vases, scrolling leaves (rinceaux), fleurons, foliate branches, and rosettes. The plate is numbered. The plate is a duplicate to plate 34 from the 6th book (1921-6-482-34). The book (Cahier) number has been modified with ink to change it from a ‘6’ to an ‘8’ and the plate number has been scraped away and inscribed in ink to change it from ‘34’ to ‘48’.
