Print of a design for a small box by an anonymous designer. It was made from a blind-stamped impression which is a print made by a form of relief printing. The design is impressed into the paper blind, that is un-inked. In this case, the circular metalwork box lid was the printing block. The raised border of the blind-stamped impression of the box is handcoloured in watercolour.

The design bears an inscription that states that it was made for the Queen of Naples in 1788. She was Marie-Caroline of Hapsburg-Lorraine, sister of Marie-Antoinette and wife of Ferdinand IV of Bourbon of the two Sicilies. The design for a small box, to be made out of precious metal, enamelled in colours, is from an album of designs which date from about 1735-1820 and includes those for snuffboxes, scent holders, watches and watch cases, spoons, fans and fan mounts, small swords, and chatelaines (ornamental chains, pins, or clasps usually worn at a woman's waist, to which trinkets, keys, purses, or other articles are attached).

There is a close relationship between the contents of the album and known work by three Parisian goldsmiths, Jean Ducrollay (1710-1787), Pierre- François Drais (active 1761-1788), and Charles Ouizille (1744-1830) whose names appear on the first page of the album. This suggests that all the designs emanate from their workshops. Drais worked for the Court at Versailles as jeweller to both King Louis XV and Louis XVI. Ouizille worked in this capacity for Louis XVI. Most of the material dates from the period 1755-90.
