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 vertical undulating garlands of stylized daisies of light tan color with offsetting scrolls of pearls and pairs of leaves made with dots of light tan color with offsetting leaves rendered with dark reddish-brown stipples over a light tan ground with stipples of dark reddish-brown color. The pearls are colored with white; the pistils of the flowers are colored alternatingly with orange and purple.
