Designs for Gun Parts and Ornament

An engraved print on a pale ground showing several ornamental designs: acanthus-leaf scrolls, a winged foliate motif, a bearded mask framed by scrolls, a dragon-like form with a spiral body, and a curled band at the bottom. The fine hatched lines suggest a pattern book for decorative metalwork.
