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 horizontal garlands of branches of light tan color with tan offsets with abstract swirls of white color with black outlines and stipples and rosettes of white color flanked by six stylized leaves and framed by an interlaced ornamental motif of white color with branch offsets of tan color, joined by three parallel stripes of tan color. Two strips are fully rendered, the repetitions left unfinished.
