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 pairs of vertical stripes of light tan color framed by two strips of ovals, pearls and pairs of stylized leaves with offsetting stems with stylized leaves rendered with stipples of dark reddish-brown stipples over a light tan background. The ovals are colored alternatingly with orange, green, pink and purple, and outlined with red; the pearls and leaves are colored with white.
