This publication accompanied an exhibition organised by Middlesex Polytechnic in 1989, which was one of the first to take a serious look at the cheaper end of the wallpaper market. The then-emerging field of wallpaper history tended to focus on elite production; this book remains an important overview of mass-market wallpaper in the twentieth century and its significance for both consumers and the British economy.
