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 overlapping vertical strips of undulating rows of dots of light tan color of different sizes with an offsetting shade of stipples of dark reddish-brown color, over a dark reddish-brown ground. Zig-zagging ribbons of white color stand out in the spaces between the vertical strips.
