Some include technical indications for coloring.

Also included is a floral watercolor on laid paper, probably signed "H. B. Knip fecit", depicting large compound flowers, as well as nine black plates, including three large lithographs engraved by Alexandre Chaponnier or Lambert jeune after P. Bessa, an etching engraved by Le Grand after De Heen, an etching engraved by Dien le jeune after Prévost le jeune, two lithographs by P.-F. Le Grand after G. Van Spaendonck, an older unsigned plate and another floral plate from the XIXᵉ century.
