The Swan Frieze and its coordinating Virchaux Drapery pattern 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.
