Old Time Wall Papers. An account of the pictorial papers on our forefathers' walls with a study of the historical development of wall paper making and decoration.
Greenwich (Conn.): Literary Collector Press, 1905.
The standard work on papiers peints, illustrated with real examples from the grand old homes and estates of New England. The value of this book lies in the images of rare papers photographed in private homes, providing a record of some designs now impossibly rare: a superlative resource for the study of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century design and interior decoration.
