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 seamless lozenges formed by undulating ribbons with alternating branch offsets and dots of light tan color. The lozenges are rendered with stipples of dark reddish-brown color over a light tan base and decorated with octagons that align to form alternating vertical rows. The octagons are colored in purple, green and orange, some of them framed with pearls of white color on the vertices.
