Pattern of snowflake like floral medallions alternating open ground with blue flower, all connected by strange shape double conical or triangular form. Writing in ink on one side "No 6 ......"
Comment
The number on the back 2072, corresponds to "Flowers brounght from Palestine by the Rev. George Richards" Because of this and the ink "No. 6" on the front of one piece, it is presumed that this was used as an album cover for the pressed flowers
