The catalogue on the left is titled "PRINTEMPS 1890" and features a sepia-toned illustration of the Eiffel Tower, various Parisian buildings, a bridge, and a pastoral scene with grains and flowers. Red accents highlight floral elements. Text on this catalogue includes "CATALOGUE GENERAL," "GRAINES," and "VILMORIN-ANDRIEUX & Cie," with the address "4, Quai de la Mégisserie, PARIS." The catalogue on the right is titled "1908" and showcases a vibrant botanical illustration of multiple red, orange, and yellow dahlias against a light gray background. This catalogue also bears the text "CATALOGUE GENERAL" and "VILMORIN-ANDRIEUX & Cie," along with the address "4, Quai de la Mégisserie, PARIS." Reflections of overhead lights or ceiling architecture are visible on the protective glass of the display case.
