These specimens are by Bernard Picart and also serve as frames to camaieux. The above three specimens, as well as Nos. 12 and 13, belong to the style of the close of the seventeenth century. Nos 4 to 7. These subjects belong to a more equivocal style, viz to that excessive use of curves, which during a part of the century almost led to the abandonment of the straight line as an element of ornamentation. No 8. Stand in enamelled and painted earthenware. No 9. Book-plate painted in 1752 by Elias Nilson, director of the Academy of Augsburg, usually called the great Nilson. Nos 10,11.
