About this work

This image shows a black-and-white decorative pattern inside a square frame. Swirling lines and shapes fill the space, with a mix of leaves, scrolls, and a few small faces peeking out. The design looks like it could be part of a book or a piece of furniture. The pattern is symmetrical, with a central "C" surrounded by curls and dots. It’s likely from a booklet meant to help people learn lettering or design. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
