About this work

Two pages with eight mounted and labeled samples (614-619) of decorated gold and silver metal foil on the right. On the opposite left page, a table with handwritten corresponding specifications (in code) for each ornament. Part of the sample book donated by the Van Rijn ladies, presumably from a French manufacturer of luxury papers or its representative in the Netherlands, ca. 1830.
