After seeing a toile mask on Etsy.
"Curiously enough, it was Ben Franklin's gift to his wife that would bring about the end of Oberkampf's textile mill in Jouy-en-Josas. The Franklins popularized it in the colonies, and American imitations of French toile eventually put Oberkampf out of business in 1840."
