This textured textile sample, an original roller-printed cotton from the latter part of the 19th century, showcases an oriental floral design featuring elephant heads in shades of red, pink, orange, green, and brown against a dark green backdrop. It originates from the esteemed Scheurer company, prominent European textile printers based in Mulhouse, Alsace, France. Purchased at auction in Paris, this sample retains its original label detailing the design.

Despite its age, this fabric remains vibrant due to meticulous storage away from light for over a century. However, it has been cut from the sample book, resulting in one selvedged side and three cut edges. Its dimensions are 30 inches (76 cm) by 18 inches (46 cm).
