Trees72 The leafy branches show how the original hand painted wood blocks layered 6 variations of light to dark. Details were hand carved into wood blocks by hundreds of artisans, then printed by hand on rag papers, to create these panoramas over 35 feet wide.

    "Romantic visions of
    Constantinople, now Istanbul,
    these rare wallpaper scenes
    were created in France in 1815
    by the atelier of Joseph Dufour
    with over a thousand hand cut
    wood blocks, 16 by 19 inches,
    hand painted in tones of gray
    and brown (en grisaille, and
    en sepia) and hand printed
    on rag paper panels.
    ...
    "Joseph Dufour was the leading
    French maker of scenic
    wallpaper during the French
    Empire and and Restoration
    periods. Known for fine
    engravings of Paris, London
    and Constantinople, he
    produced a lot of wallpapers
    after 1815 for export to
    England and America."

    -- Wendy Moonan,
    "Antiques: Scenic Views, Even
    Indoors, On Wallpaper"
    NY Times, 2/28/98, about the
    same scenes (another edition)





































       "The panels open up
       a space because they
       are landscapes with
       the illusion of depth.
       Put one in a small
       room and it will
       immediately give
       the impression
       that the room is
       far bigger. Put
       one in a dark
       or narrow room
       like a hallway and
       it immediately gives
       you the illusion
       of air and light."
