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 an interlacing pattern of lines of light tan color outlined by two lines of dark reddish-brown color over a light tan ground, partially decorated with groups of three pearls of white color. The right part of the pattern is also rendered with spikes of dark reddish-brown color offsetting from the outlines and the background is decorated with stipples of dark reddish-brown color.
