| Date | 19th century |
| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe: French Curl on Nonpareil
Miura: Snail on Nonpareil
The pattern is created by following all the steps necessary to make a (typical) Nonpareil pattern. The final step would be to draw in the swirls using either a stylus or a comb whose teeth are set in wide intervals.
The primary colors for this example are grey, blue, red, green and yellow ochre.

| Collection Notes | The flat sample from which this photo was scanned is a salvaged endsheet. There is no record of the original item from which these endsheets were taken. Information regarding creation dates has therefore been estimated (using Wolfe), typically by century.
