Sidewall (England)
This is a sidewall. It is dated 1870–85 and we acquired it in 1968. Its medium is block-printed paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
Images of bamboo appeared on Chinese export wallpapers in the seventeenth century which inspired Western manufacturers to use bamboo motifs to instill an Asian aesthetic in their designs. This design pushes the Japanese aesthetic with bamboo medallions enframing a female figure clothed in a traditional Japanese kimono. The medallions alternate with landscape views containing a bird and cricket.
