The original document for this pastoral figure pattern was found on a
French folding screen in Adelphi's collection. Though printed around
1815 it appears to be based on circa 1780 Continental engraving. Also,
it may possibly relate to an earlier textile; certainly it resembles a
toile de Jouy.
This serene landscape was originally printed on in two shades of blue on
a lighter blue and highlighted with black and white. Other tone-on-tone
combinations using ochres, red or greens would work equally as well.
