content: The plate is divided in two to show various bracket and rosette designs. At top is a bracket shown horizontally and vertically with fluting filled with channels of leaf detail. To the right of the sheet is a profile of the bracket, showing lamb tongue ornamentation at its back edge. To the left of the bracket elevation is a rosette, placed in a square frame with lamb tongue detailing. At the bottom of the plate is an elevation of two brackets, one with a naturalistic lacet leaf, and one with an acanthus leaf. The scrolling profile of the bracket is visible at the right of the plate; a rosette placed in a square, egg and dart frame is printed between the two bracket elevations. The plate is signed and numbered.
