Text Appearing Before Image:
Early wall-paper, showing influence of the Empire style with 1 ready covered with a hand-painted decoration, now too worn and tarnished to bear photo- graphic reproduction. It rep- resents landscape with water- falls and a variety of natural scenery. These hand-paint- ings were the forerunners of landscape paper in our coun- try. In the very earliest davs the walls of the log-cabin were left in a state of nature, save as the chinks between the logs were stopped with clay. When sawmills became common and houses were boarded outside and plast- ered within, a coat of white- wash for walls and ceiling was their usual decoration. After the whitewash failed to satisfy the growing esthetic sense of the home-makers, the fashion turned to queer stenciled effects, and then to hand - painted decorations. The earliest examples of this were simple repetitions of some favorite—a rose, a poppy, a violet, or a pink. From these it was but a step to the reproduction of "the human form divine." Then came the complete landscape. ts scenic presentations of nature, and then they were to appreciate the real merits of the landscape paper.
