This album consists of photographs of historic wallpapers, and it was compiled and annotated by Howard Livingstone Shurtleff of Boston, Mass. Many of the wallpapers documented are mural style, and some are in the style of Rufus Porter. Some of the photographs have been attached to eachother, creating larger panoramas of wallpaper. Shurtleff's annotations have been made on tissue paper which has been attached over the photographs.
