Collector's Notes:
Dating is approximate based on stylistic elements and similarity to other Remondini papers. This pattern is reproduced in Rinck & Krause's Handbuch Buntpapier, Figure 159, p. 216; and in Haemmerle, Plate XVIII, p. 160, there described as an anonymous Dutch production of ~1780. Kopylov mentions this attribution alongside another example of the paper and adds mention of the resemblance to Remondini works (Italiens, p. 385, #215). A different design with strikingly similar content, style, and palette is reproduced in Heijbroek & Greven, p. 69.
