The designs on this paper look older than the publication date of the text, and the textblock does not appear to be original (different paper stock for pastedowns, not appropriately sized to textblock). Additionally, a similar or identical example of this pattern is described in The Met Collection as an "Anonymous, 19th century" production (Object Number: 39.13.125).
