content: First plate, from a series of six designs for rococo ornament by Peyrotte. A large cartouche made up of acanthus leaves, twigs, branches, and berries, with shell and s-scroll motifs, framing what resembles a painter’s palette with a bunch of paint brushes through the two holes of the palette at an angle to the right side. The plate is trimmed and pasted onto the album page. It is titled, signed, and numbered.
