In this series of twenty-six plates, Heinrich von Geymüller perceived patterns for marquetry for floors or designs for marble inlaid flooring. One might also think of designs for garden flowerbeds, like those which appear at the end of the Quarto libro by Sebastiano Serlio. Unlike the plates belonging to the BnF (Estampes, Ed. 2 d) these are numbered.
