The original point paper for this fabric is in the Warner Fabrics Archive. It is signed with a monogram CHT and markedfor Prunus loom. Prunus was a Talbert design made by Warners for Daniel Walters. It is not known who CHT is but it may be a member of Talbert's studio or the draughtsman who completed the point paper.
