Notes:

Hand-drawn; hand-colored. In the center of the document is a tall, leafy stem with thirteen flowers, arranged in six pairs of red and blue flowers flanking the stem and three single purple flowers on the stem. The number in the lower right corner may be the price of the item.  Recording prices on fraktur is rare, but the so-called Engraver Artist is known for doing so.
