Sidewall and Border with Pink Flower Sprays

A long vertical strip of pale cream paper with faint striped texture, bearing two block-printed bouquets of pink blossoms, buds and green leaves, one small at top and one larger at lower left. A narrow decorative border with a fine scalloped pattern runs down the right edge. The printed colors are slightly faded and the paper shows minor wear.
