London Wallpapers Great Ormond Street c.1890

London Wallpapers

A colourful parrot motif, closely based on one of a multi-layered group of papers removed from the ground floor rear closet of a very early-18th Century terrace house opposite the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. This design was subsequently machine-made on cellulose paper in the late 19th Century.
