Abstract

Wallpaper has been around for centuries, but it wasn't always child-friendly. The first wallcoverings were hand-printed with water-soluble inks, so they couldn't be wiped clean -- the pigments would disappear. It wasn't until the 1870s that machine-printed papers that were easy to clean, affordable and designed for children became widely available. ''Wall Stories: Children's Wallpaper and Books,'' a delightful, nostalgic exhibition opening on Friday at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, offers a look at 30 of these early wallcoverings, along with related books. Items on display include a moralistic 1875 paper depicting ''The Pilgrim's Progress'' in shades of brown and beige; later, more playful designs featuring characters like Popeye and Christopher Robin with Winnie-the-Pooh at the North Pole, above; and the first scratch-and-sniff wallpaper. Through April 5 at 2 East 91st Street, (212) 849-8400 or cooperhewitt.org. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

thoMissPrint, a London company, is introducing new wallpapers in time for summer: Leaves, the latest pattern, joins the already-popular Dandelion Mobile print, which came out last year and is now available in two additional colorways (porcelain with powder blue, shown, and mist green with white).
