Publisher's Synopsis
Marvelously inventive, these period wallpaper designs were promoted to an eager Victorian public through newspaper advertisements, which we have reproduced in full throughout this book. Inviting advertising art directs our attention to pure Victorian and early Art Nouveau designs that shouold prove highly useful in creating wallpaper, decoupage, stencils and other art applications. Artists, craftspeople, designers and colorists will applaud this new contribution to the International Design Library series, described on the inside back cover.
