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 pattern is made up of a honeycomb pattern formed with rosettes of light tan color with offsetting thorns rendered with stipples of dark reddish-brown color over a light tan base. The center of the hexagons are decorated with rosettes of six petals framed with pearls that form alternating vertical rows. The rosettes are of red color with an outline of black color. The pearls framing the rosettes are of white color and align to form hexagons around the rosettes.
