Sidewall (France)
This is a sidewall. It was made by Jean-Baptiste Réveillon. It is dated 1789. Its medium is block printed on handmade paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
From the John Lincklaen House in Cazenovia, New York. Said to have been hung in 1797, in the new parlor, in honor of the marriage of John Lincklaen and Helen Ledyard. The remaining wallpaper (still in Cazenovia) appeared to have been removed from a folding screen. This sample was probably from the same screen.
