Collector's Notes:
Gift from JK. See another copy of this design in another colorway in 23.004 (with an 1818 Italian imprint), and in examples from The MET Collection (#39.13.36 and #39.13.3). A similar but distinct pattern (a later copy?) is shown in the 1840s Alois Dessauer sample book (f. 60 #43; f. 61 #60; f. 62 #130, 148).
