1731 · Coppenhagen : Gedruckt in Ihro Königl. Majesstäts privilegirten Buchdruckerey · 2 pictures

A 1731 catalogue printed in Copenhagen by the royal privileged printing house, listing the contents of the cabinets of curiosities left by Count Christian Danneskjold, made for collectors and readers of Danish and German art and rarities. The two pictures are nearly identical small woodcut vignettes of a floral bouquet, with a central five-petalled blossom, spiky leaves, and a flat base, showing a bold, dense black-and-white pattern a designer could adapt as a compact ornament or border device.
