Flowers: engraved bouquet with peonies and narcissus

An engraved bouquet fills the centre of a bound print page, with peonies, chrysanthemum-like blooms, narcissus and a tall lily bud arranged around a tied ribbon at the base. A small hummingbird hovers at the right, and the printed caption is visible along the lower margin of the plate.
