Summary:

"Wallpaper in Interior Decoration is the first book to examine the history of wallpaper from the consumer's point of view. Though wallpaper is the most ephemeral of the decorative arts, it has played a key role in interior decoration. Often chosen to complement the other furnishings, it also reflected the tastes and aspirations of successive generations, and not only the fashions but the technical innovations of the time."--Jacket
