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 up of alternating vertical rows of stylized flowers on stems with two leaves over a backround with star-like shapes and groups of three egg shapes that stand out over a light tan base with stipples of dark reddish-brown stipples. The flowers are colored in yellow and purple and have red outlines and pistils, which are also decorated with a white pearl. The stems and leaves are also decorated with small white pearls.
