Descriptions

Description
The supports for the wallpaper vary. In some cases they are textured papers, in others the texture has been created through the relief printing process. In the case of the cutouts, the photomechanical prints are on coated white wove paper. (Examined by A. Driesse, Straus Center for Conservation, 1/2003)
