The International Exhibition - Wallpaper by Messrs. John Woollams and Co. 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition - Wallpaper by Messrs. John Woollams and Co. 1862....large damask pattern...in the mediaeval style, and, while founded on a geometrical basis, is without a decided geometrical form, the general shape being given by the spaces left between the repeating ornament. The forms are quaint yet bold, and are made out in green and maroon on a yellow-buff ground, damasked with gold. This is a work of considerable merit, and is well calculated for exhibition through its magnitude, yet it is a mere type of the excellent patterns in this class which the firm that produced it is known so liberally to provide'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a large damask pattern wallpaper design by the esteemed firm of Messrs. John Woollams and Co., showcased at The International Exhibition in 1862. The intricate pattern, reminiscent of the mediaeval style, defies a strict geometrical form, instead relying on the spaces between the repeating ornament for its overall shape. The quaint yet bold forms are expertly rendered in green and maroon on a yellow-buff ground, with gold damask accents. This wallpaper is a testament to the firm's exceptional design capabilities and is a prime example of the high-quality patterns they were renowned for. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as The Great London Exposition, was a cultural event that brought together the best in art, design, and industry from around the world. The Illustrated London News, a leading newspaper of the time, showcased this exquisite wallpaper design in one of its issues, highlighting its merit and suitability for exhibition due to its grand scale. The wallpaper print, with its intricate pattern and rich colors, is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the interior design trends and textile innovations of the 19th century. The print, a cherished piece of history, continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intricate detail.
