content: Title page for a series of designs for interior wall decoration featuring ‘turquerie’ (Turkish style) motifs. The title is lettered below a design for a wall with ornately painted panels and a canopy bed set into a niche in the center. The bed’s tent-like canopy and panel in the niche features crescent moons. The paneling and textiles feature festoons of flowers and pearls, lyres, arrows, quivers of arrows, fleurons, and crowns of flowers. The bed curtains are supported by ropes with tassels and passementeries, with feathers at the top. Below the bed, the step is draped with a textile decorated with a leopard print. The frieze above is decorated with a repeating pattern of leaves, eggs, and crescent moons. The plate is numbered.
