Rectangular sheet of paper with a textile design from a group, dated 1840, made in Mulhouse, Alsace, which was an important nineteenth-century center for textile production in the Haut-Rhin region of France. The design is made of a dark reddish-brown base over which a basketweave pattern of light tan color with dark reddish-brown stipples forming shades in the ribbons that make the pattern and alternating rows of lens-shaped pearls of white color stand out.
