content: A print from a series of seven designs for rococo ornament, cartouches and vignettes of figures and rocaille motifs. A cartouche within a fantastical architectural structure featuring acanthus leaves, c-scrolls, rocaille, rosettes, shell, and beading motifs with a draped textile from a pole within a landscape with a palm tree in the background, foliage in the foreground, and a lion sitting on the frame, with a bow and quiver with arrows and a feathered turban. The plate is signed with an address.
