EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning design for wallpaper in green and cream, featuring intricately detailed poppies and other floral elements, is a beautiful example of late Victorian decorative art. The design, created in 1896, showcases the popular Art Nouveau style, which was characterized by its organic, flowing forms and ornate patterns. The artist, whose identity is unknown but is believed to be from the MODA (Museums, Organs and Decorative Arts) collection at the Mary Evans Picture Library, expertly used gouache and pencil to bring this repeating pattern to life. The wallpaper design is adorned with vibrant poppies, their petals unfurling in delicate curves, and lush greenery, all set against a cream background. The silver accents in the design add an elegant touch, making it a perfect fit for a Victorian-era interior. The design process for creating wallpaper in the 1890s was a labor-intensive one. Artists would first sketch out their designs on paper, then transfer them to a large sheet of cartridge paper using a tracing method. The design was then painted in watercolor or gouache, and once dry, the paper was coated with size and then covered with several layers of paste to prepare it for the wallpaper adhesive. This design for wallpaper is a testament to the intricate and detailed work that went into creating decorative arts during the Victorian era. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire interior designers and homeowners today, making it a cherished piece of decorative art history.
