If you know anything at all about wallpaper and other wall coverings, you understand that the two words are synonymous with one name: Cooper-Hewitt.
The beginning of the nineteenth century wrought great change the world over, and the sphere of home design was no exception. What makes this age so distinct is the movement away the Victorian sensibility regarding children. No longer were the youths of the nation and the world to be seen and not heard, this new era of design catered to the beauty of young spirits and young imaginations, something that can be clearly seen in the stories written for children at this time.
Now on display at Cooper-Hewitt through April 5th, such classic figures as Peter Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland, spring back into life through these classic wall coverings, brilliantly collected and arranged.
