content: Title page for a series of twelve designs for ornamental trophies. The title is lettered in the center on a shell with a putto in the foreground holding a large anchor and leaning against a carved plinth or base with water below and three fish with a foliage to right. The scene appears to be in a cave-like space with the sky visible through an opening in the background, with leafy branches on either side. The plate is numbered, and the address is lettered below.
