Overview:
The Cooper Hewitt's Department of Wallcoverings - the most comprehensive survey of wallcoverings in the USA - holds over 10'000 examples. The collection is particularly rich in 19th century French papers' as well as 19th and 20th century mass-produced papers that show designs influenced by photography. A selection of the most significant of these papers forms the subject of this book. One hundred color illustrations reveal the cultural connections between interior design and the actual landscape' while the author demonstrates how industrial production allowed experimentation with stylized and geometric patterns as the 20th century embraced the modern.
