The main title \"LA BRODERIE LYONNAISE\" occupies the center, with the subtitle \"Journal de broderies pour trousseaux\" (Journal of embroidery for trousseaux).

The letters are arranged in five lines, each framed by a stylized rhombus. At the bottom, a caption specifies: \"Alphabet doublé pour serviettes, les 2 lettres dessinées toutes initiales 80 fr. la taille nappe 90 fr. port 20 fr.\" (Double alphabet for towels, the 2 letters drawn all initials 80 fr. the tablecloth size 90 fr. postage 20 fr.), providing period pricing information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe printing is characterized by a strong contrast between the off-white background of the paper and the black motifs, highlighting the delicate details of the floral designs and the graphic aspect of the alphabet.
