Unknown Maker, French

Designers and manufactures worked out details by making full-color prints. Although this example appears to be a finished wallpaper, we can find hints that it was actually a design in process. A small figure in the gazebo and a bird above the trees are outlined in black—a stark contrast to the rest of the composition, which was printed in several

colors. The roses appear unresolved, with only a few simple shapes suggesting their form.
