Early Nineteenth Century Scenic Paper.
Side wall of parlor of Mrs. E. C. Cowles at Deerfield, Ma.s.sachusetts. The house was built in 1738 by Ebenezer Hinsdale, and was re-modelled and re-decorated about the beginning of the nineteenth century. Still in good state of preservation. The colors are neutral.

_PLATE XLVII_
PLATE XLVI.
Another example of the same paper as that on the Cowles house (Plates XLIV and XLV). This paper was imported from England and hung in 1805, in a modest house at Warner, New Hampshire,--such a house as seldom indulged in such expensive papers. It is still on the walls, though faded.
PLATE XLVII.
At Windsor, Vermont, two more examples of this paper are still to be seen. One is on the house now occupied by the Sabin family. This was built about 1810 by the Honorable Edward R. Campbell, and the paper was hung when the house was new. (p. 52)

_PLATE XLIX_
PLATE XLVIII.
Harbor Scene.
Paper found in three houses in New England--the home of Mr. Wilfred Cleasby at Waterford, Vermont; the Governor Badger homestead at Gilmanton, New Hampshire, built in 1825; and an old house in Rockville, Ma.s.sachusetts, built about ninety years ago. The scene fits the four walls of the room without repet.i.tion. The design is printed in browns on a cream ground, with a charming effect. The geographical ident.i.ty of the scenes has never been established. (p.

PLATE XLIX.
The Spanish Fandango.
Continuation of same paper; another side of room.
