In the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt Library. With this collection of colorful images of wallpapered rooms, Coswig Wallpaper Co., c. 1920, sought to reeducate retailers in the art of wallpaper application and marketing. They believed many professionals were slacking by applying wallpapers to walls in wasteful and unsophisticated ways. The art of interior decoration is subtle and requires practice; therefore, wallpaper retailers should become decorative consultants and advisors to their customers.
