Roussel’s Scarab, Grecian Key, and Fly Pattern Mount was printed in different ink color combinations for five of his nine color prints. There were two variants for The Sea at Bognor , with the cartouche, or “scarab”—in opaque white or rose ink; it was printed in green and gold for Last Poppies , and a white and gold variation was used for a small landscape entitled The Thames, Evening . The mount was also produced in shades of red and gold for Chelsea Palaces and in black and gold for Anemonies . The latter is placed on a drawing for the mount with a black printed cartouche. The remaining color subjects were accompanied by Roussel’s Shell Pattern Mount , which was likewise printed in a variety of color combinations.
