"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."
-- Carolle Thibalt-Pomerantz
