Discerning text and captions complement more than 100 stunning reproductions of classic and unique wallpapers, many selected from the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. This nostalgia-packed tribute to wall adornment celebrates a mainstay of the American home that has achieved its rightful place within the ranks of high art."--Jacket.
