Double frame designed by Candace Wheeler for Associated Artists. The image shows a gold-colored, aged book cover or portfolio with a design on both sides. The design features orange outlines of various insects and plants on a gold background. The insect on the right side appears to be a butterfly or moth, and there are dragonflies on the left. The gold background has darker areas where the gold appears to have worn off. The pages are slightly curled and have visible wear around the edges. The image is set against a light gray background.
