Round and rectangular embroidery design

Journal des Demoiselles, Boulevart des Italiens, 1.

Single page, two embossed patterns. They might be intended for a smoking cap, if the rectangular pattern would be extended to cover the circumference of the round one. The relative dimensions look a bit off for a smoking cap, but maybe that was left to the needleworker. Of course these designs would also be suitable for other purposes.
