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 flowers and leaves of red color joined by stems decorated with pearls of white color over a light tan background with offsetting branches of tan color, separated by vertical rows of alternating shuttle-shaped motifs of black color with a small rosette flanked by two leaves of white color with offsetting branches of light tan and tan color, over a dark reddish-brown base.
