In this revision of the 1992 catalog written to accompany an exhibition of London wallpapers at the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Heinz Gallery, the collection's curator provides
a historical overview of the trade in hand-printed wallpaper in its heyday in London, taxation, paper-hanging techniques, and design. The catalog includes 39 color plates with descriptions and
other illustrations, appendices on the conservation of historic wallpapers and London wallpaper tradesmen of the period, and a glossary. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
