The image features three signs with typographic designs by the French designer. Two signs display the word "Metropolitain" in capital letters, each with different Art Nouveau fonts. Another sign shows the word "Entree", also in an Art Nouveau style. It is clear that these are preliminary studies for the signs that were later chosen for the Metro entrances.
The image depicts a design for an elegant ornamentation for a wrought-iron railing in the Art Nouveau style. The detailed drawing still includes the guiding lines for the underlying construction and contains notes. Even in this draft, one can see how delicate and light the metal version might appear later.

The entrance to a Parisian metro station featuring the Art Nouveau design of the steel and glass structure, crafted by Hector Guimard. In the foreground, the image shows the two red lamps of the entrance and the sign in between, displaying "Metropolitain". The font used for the metro signs was also designed by Guimard. In the background, slightly out of focus, one can see classic Parisian townhouses.
