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 alternating vertical rows of lozenges bordered by ten pearls, framed by interlacing garlands of branches of light tan color with offsetting branches of brown color over a light tan ground with stipples of brown color. The rows of lozenges are colored: two rows with black and one with red; the pearls are colored with white.
