At the center of this page an unknown artist has painted in watercolor two pink roses growing from a single stem--one almost in full bloom, the other just beginning to bud—and entwined it with a blue and yellow bloom (perhaps a passion flower).

Preserving dried flowers and a scrap of wallpaper, this page is found in the album that was kept over many years by the salonnière and painter Elizabeth (Eliza) Aders. The pasted-in piece of wallpaper seems discolored with age, and has an indistinguishable green and off-white pattern.

Within the elaborate frame printed on one page of the E. Boyes album by the book’s manufacturer, someone has pasted in shiny blue foil so as to form a second frame. This surrounds an arrangement of small paper panels, eight with handwritten labels, and two with watercolor depictions of insects, an arrangement that in its turn frames a watercolor landscape.
