Janeway and Carpender · 1884 · New Brunswick, N.J. : Janeway & Carpender · 5 pictures

A trade catalogue of wallpaper designs published by Janeway and Carpender in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1884, made for decorators and buyers choosing paper for walls and ceilings. The plates show printed centres and borders in matching sets, each numbered and labelled with its size, so a designer can see how a centre, corner pieces and a border would work together. Designers can take from them the layering of flowers, scrolling foliage and geometric bands in warm reds, yellows and greens typical of Victorian decorative schemes.
