New Discoveries, New Research now available!

The volume "New Discoveries, New Research" is an outgrowth of an international wallpaper conference in Stockholm from 2007. It was published in Sweden in 2009. The book includes 12 essays on a variety of wallpaper topics, including a study of the output and working methods of Johan Norman, a late-18th century Swedish paperstainer. "Wallpaper in the Farmhouses of Halsingland" by Ingela Brostrom looks at how prosperous farmers mixed and matched decorative painting and wallpaper, and much much more. An excellent book and well worth the cost for the serious student of wallpaper.
