Border
1800–1830
Four bands of a border design printed across the width. Each band consists of a wide central strip containing dragonflies framed by octagonal, beaded shapes with attached sprays of foliage alternating with lozenges pierced by two arrows. Above this strip is a band of simple floral motifs (quatrefoil) alternating with diamonds, all these punctuated by a center dot. Below the wide central strip are two narrow stripes. Printed in blue, mauve, green and white on a black ground.
