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 garlands of stylized leaves and pearls with ovals over a strip of overlapping scales of light tan color with dark reddish-brown stipples. The leaves and pearls are colored with white; the ovals are colored alternatingly with green, orange, and purple, and outlined with red.
