Title page to a series of six prints (incomplete) with designs for various small objects related to goldsmith's work. The title page shows three designs with in the middle a design for the lid of a tobacco box with a scene of men playing billiards. The plate was damaged causing a dark line to run through part of the image. Surrounding this central design are three naturally rendered insects.
