Fresh Wallpapers History

Prior to 1750, few colonists in New England could afford to decorate their homes with wallpaper (or painted paper as it was called in the eighteenth century), and surviving examples from this period are rare. There is documentation that wallpaper was available as early as 1700 as evidenced by the inventory of a Boston bookseller which lists "7 quires of painted paper and three reams of painted paper."
Wealthy urban colonists could purchase "painted paper" (a translation of the French term papier peint) from stationers, book sellers and as a custom order from merchants who specialized in imported luxury goods. Wallpaper was an expensive decorative material, yet it was created as an affordable alternative to more costly wallcoverings.
