Paper found in three houses in New England--the home of Mr. Wilfred Cleasby at Waterford, Vermont; the Governor Badger homestead at Gilmanton, New Hampshire, built in 1825; and an old house in Rockville, Massachusetts, built about ninety years ago. The scene fits the four walls of the room without repetition. The design is printed in browns on a cream ground, with a charming effect. The geographical identity of the scenes has never been established. (p. 109) PLATE XLIX. The Spanish Fandango. Continuation of same paper; another side of room. [Illustration] [Illustration] _PLATE L_ PLATE L. Strolling Players. Same paper, third view. The set of paper on the Cleasby house is said by descendants of the builder, Henry Oakes, to have cost $100, and $40 for its hanging. The similar set on the Badger homestead should have cost $50, had not the messenger lost the first payment sent, so that that sum had to be duplicated. This is on a smaller room than at the Cleasby house, requiring less paper. (p. 76-80) [Illustration] _PLATE LI_ _PLATE LII_ PLATE LI. Rural Scene. Paper on the parlor of Mr. Josiah Cloye at Ashland, Massachusetts, and found also in several other places; colors neutral. PLATE LII. Rural Scene. From another example of the same set found at Marblehead, Massachusetts. [Illustration] [Illustration] _PLATE LIII_ _PLATE LIV_ PLATE LIII. French Boulevard Scene. Paper from the Forrester house at Salem, Massachusetts, now used as a sanitarium for the insane. Since the photographs were taken the paper has been removed as it unduly excited the patients. PLATE LIV. French Boulevard Scene. Same as above. Found also in a house at the sea-port town of Nantucket. [Illustration] [Illustration] _PLATE LV_ PLATE LV. Gateway and Fountain. French paper, imported before 1800, but never hung. A few rolls still survive, in the possession of Mr. George M. Whipple of Salem, Massachusetts. [Illustration] _PLATE LVI_ PLATE LVI. Scenes from Paris. A very popular paper found in Federal Street, Salem, on the parlor of Mrs. Charles Sadler, daughter of Henry K. Oliver; in the Ezra Weston house at Duxbury, Massachusetts, built in 1808; the Walker house at Rockville, Massachusetts, and several other New England towns. The principal buildings of Paris are represented as lining the shore of the Seine. The inclusion of the Colonne Vendôme shows it to have been designed since 1806; and as the horses on the Carousel arch were returned to Venice in 1814, the paper probably dates between those years.
