The non-repeatingℓpanelsℓdepict the voyages of Captain Cook throughout the south Pacific.ℓFrench scenic wallpaper is unique in the category of decorative wall hangings in that it does not depict a repeating pattern, but rather portrays a 360-degree landscape with multiple colors and subjects.ℓFrench scenic wallpaper was typically installed in middle- and upper-class residences and represented a person’s wealth and position within a society, as well as the person’s interests and decorative tastes. |
