The Swan Frieze and its coordinating
Virchaux Drapery pattern (visible beneath the frieze, above)
were both designed by the internationally known architect Josef Ramée, in
Philadelphia. Ramée, who had previous wallpaper manufacturing
experience while in Belgium, entered into partnership with Henry
Virchaux, a French émigré printer working in Philadelphia. This paper was one of
many they submitted for patent protection between 1814 and 1816.
