The Elmwood Floral pattern is from the Cambridge, Massachusetts mansion of Thomas Oliver, built in 1767. It was the first of three layers found in the parlor behind a mid-19th century bookcase.
Because of the absence of a tax stamp on the reverse of the original document, it is unlikely to have been an English import. This charming flower and column design, which couples a sinuous central column with delicate vines, suggests that it could be the work of a French printer. However, in all probability this was a domestically produced pattern as indicated by the naïve rendering of specific color areas. Despite this lack of formal sophistication, Elmwood Floral is a striking pattern that creates a surprising illusion of three dimensional open space.
