Faithfully reproduced, but increased in scale, from a fabulous English Heritage piece, this historical panorama of the capital was published by The London Illustrated News in 1851. This hand drawn, hand painted scene depicts the buildings and landscape along the River Thames at the time and has been remastered to include a repeating section meaning it can be hung on any size wall. The original would have been shown at cornice height, but in rooms of a more normal scale, it has been created to sit comfortably at dado or skirting height as well.

More than ‘just plain stripes’, all ten designs in ‘Painted Papers’ have been reworked from historic patterns sourced from several archives, including those at English Heritage and Manchester’s Whitworth Art Gallery. Faithful to the period in which they were designed, and with many of the colourways also boasting an authentic historic provenance, the wallpapers are nonetheless highly relevant for the 21st Century interior.
