content: The plate is divided to show two bracket and two rosette designs. At the top is the profile of a scroll bracket with acanthus leaf ornamentation down the front. The rosette has acanthus leaf and bead detailing. The profile of the bracket below, also of a scroll form, has fluting and ribbon twist ornamentation. its paired medallion has a spiraling acanthus leaf pattern. The plate is signed, but the numbering at the lower right is not apparent (in comparison with other versions of this album, it should be numbered 5).
