This textured textile sample, an original roller-printed cotton from France dating back to 1881, showcases intricate florals and scrolls in a vibrant palette of pink, red, blue, yellow, mauve, and brown against a blue backdrop. It originates from the esteemed Scheurer company, renowned European textile printers based in Mulhouse, Alsace, France. This sample, purchased at auction in Paris, retains its original label detailing the design.

Despite its age, the fabric remains in excellent condition, maintaining its vivid colors due to careful storage away from light for more than 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).
