Three Chair Designs, Etching Plate

A black-and-white etched plate shows three chairs drawn side by side in profile and three-quarter views. The left chair has a carved, curving back and cabriole legs, the middle one is a straight upholstered chair with stretchers, and the right is a tall-backed armchair-like seat with a stretcher frame. Fine hatching describes the upholstery and wood on cream paper.
