Discover “Papiers peints panoramiques” (Panoramic Wallpapers) by Odile Nouvel-Kammerer, a definitive work on large-format French panoramic wallpapers of the 19th century, published by Flammarion in 2002 (334 pages in French, large format 12.2 x 10.6 x 1.18 inches / 31 × 27 × 3 cm, ISBN 9782080109965).

Published to coincide with the legendary “Decorations of the Imagination” exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, this richly illustrated book traces the complete history of these monumental decorations that adorned bourgeois walls between 1790 and 1865. It offers an in-depth analysis of the iconic manufacturers (Zuber, Dufour, Delicourt, etc.) and their signature themes: historical and literary scenes (Paul and Virginia, Telemachus), exotic landscapes, views of America, and Niagara Falls.

An exhaustive catalogue raisonné, included as an appendix, lists all known panoramic murals – an indispensable tool for collectors, high-end interior designers, art historians, and curators. This copy is in very good condition (a few marks on the dust jacket). A rare, scholarly, and magnificent work, not to be missed.
