MANUFACTURE DESFOSSÉ & KARTH Panoramique: Histoire de Psyché, complete with 26 grisaille-printed strips in twelve tableaux, from the original edition of Blondel and Laffitte cartoons printed by Dufour in 1815. Reissued between 1872 and 1931, date of last printing. Dimensions of strips: 205x57cm - dimensions of decor: 182x54cm Condition: close to new, despite a few scattered freckles and stains. Note: Desfossé and Karth's policy of acquiring wallpaper from various printing houses led them to purchase the original plates from Dufour, until they were accidentally destroyed by fire in the 20th century.
