A Layered Approach Part I: Studying Wallpaper in Historic Homes
The wallpaper found in historic homes richly offers insight into the families that once occupied its rooms. Read along to learn about what we can draw from the 25 layers of wallpaper uncovered in the John Brown House’s Ballroom, how these layers have been documented, removed, and conserved, and the augmented reality project currently in development with Brock University Department of Digital Humanities that aims to decorate the walls of the Ballroom with these historic patterns once again.
Haul Out the Holly!
