content: Design for a set of exterior double doors decorated with rococo ornament and motifs. The doors feature central vertical curvilinear panels (boiseries) decorated with a lower clasp, and kocker, in the shape of a shell with foliate motifs, fleurons, and scrolling leaves (rinceaux). The lower panels of the doors are decorated with geometric parquetry designs. The arched tympanum above the doors features shell, rocaille, and foliate motifs, festoons of flowers and glass panels. The whole is framed by smooth-faced rustication. There is a scale and plan view of the door below. The plate is titled, and the signatures have been taken out at lower right and left corners. Another copy of this print is bound in this album 1921-6-359-1.
