Black and white print of botanical specimens in silhouette, with feathery-leaved stems and delicate seed heads rendered in solid black against a white ground, initialed "mb." at lower center.
Black and white print of two flowering plant stems rendered as solid black silhouettes against a white ground, with dotted texture suggesting leaf veining and delicate tendrils extending from the branches.
