THE HISTORY OF THE MAGNIFICENT WALLPAPER HALL I...

Volume 2 of the series of publications from the World Heritage Centre of the Hanseatic City of
Wismar is dedicated to the Wallpaper Hall in Lübsche Straße 23. The building's use as a
visitors' centre means that both the house and the hall are open to the public.When more than
200 years ago it became possible to print large scenic motifs on individual sheets of paper 
panoramic wallpaper began to make its way into the homes of the wealthier classes. The then
owner Gabriel Lembke selected the Telemachus on the Island of Calypso cycle. He had this
exquisite spatial decoration produced by the renowned Parisian manufactory Dufour & Leroy. In
1828  Fölker - the paperhanger - pasted the sheets onto canvas-covered frames and in doing so
skilfully concealed the half-timbered walls. This book describes the Wallpaper Hall's various
uses and conversion phases  the challenging restoration of the wall decoration following its
theft  and its fortunate recovery. Learn how to read the exciting pictorial tale of Telemachus
and in which places wallpapers with this motif can still be found today.
