I was desperate to create a wallpaper design for my dining room and was struggling with the images I’d been working with. So I went out to look for things with a vertical direction that could make a good jumbo paper. And when I came across Bertha Jaques’s cyanotypes, I knew I’d struck gold. There are some things I would do differently now, a bit, but I put it up and I love it.

A collection of images of cyanotype photograms created by Bertha Jaques around 1910.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images used here—of milkweed, dandelions, and dog fennel—are taking from the public domain images made available by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. More information can be viewed at https:\/\/americanart.si.edu\/artist\/bertha-e-jaques-2441<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pattern can be purchased as wallpaper or as fabric and various household objects at Spoonflower<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t joking—this really is the wallpaper that’s up in my dining room and I adore it! I used the peel-and-stick kind because I’ve never hung paper before and we’re in a pandemic so I don’t want anyone in my house. It was more expensive to buy, but it was pretty easy to hang, at least in this pattern, where I wasn’t matching fussy details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
