ABOUT WATERHOUSE WALLHANGINGS by Waterhouse Wallhangings “Our collection contains many authentic reproductions of original wallpapers that were first used in this country, circa 1700-1895. During these years, sea captains returning from trading in France, England, and the Orient, brought back with them, as part of their cargo, handmade papers. These were designed by true artists who excelled in the creation and painting of wall hangings. Many of their designs were inspired by the valuable brocades and tapestries which adorned the homes of wealthy nobles and merchants. These imported papers were sold for the most part in New England seaport cities and towns.Our sister company-Thomas Strahan Company, started selling mostly imported wallpapers in Boston in 1866 and several years later started manufacturing their own wallpaper collection, eventually creating over 12,000 designs. (5600 images from the archives can be found at www.wallpaperaficionado.com.) The oldest ( modern day) wallpaper company in America is Thomas Strahan founded in 1866, A.L. Diament in 1885, Thibaut in 1886, F. Schumacher in 1889, York Wallpaper in 1895, and Nancy McCelland Inc. in 1922.In 1937 Dorothy and Clifford Waterhouse bought the Captain Jimmy Fish house on Cape Cod, circa 1799. During the renovation Dorothy uncovered seven layers of wallpaper- the early layers were hand blocked prints, some with the royal (English/ French) seals and tax stamps intact on the back of the papers. Dorothy was smitten by the many layers of lovely designs with charming colorways, some of the earliest were quite primitive in execution. For many years thereafter, Dorothy Waterhouse visited lovely old New England homesteads, searching beneath layers of wallpaper or paint - or in attics, trunks, and old boxes - for fragments of original wall hangings. . The results have been rewarding, for many documentary papers have been found with colors and designs almost as true as the day the papers were made. Since many were created before the machine age, they were often painted completely by hand, stenciled, or printed using hand carved wood blocks. The colors used were of home-mixed pigments and the designs superb examples of grace in composition. Dorothy started doing research and became quite a wallpaper historian/ expert giving guest lectures around the North East. She literally “uncovered” some interesting facts- often Early American homes glued newspapers of the day to the rough plaster walls to smooth out the rough plaster, act as an insulator, and as a wallpaper liner. These newspapers provided news and local gossip of the time, for example General George Washington was originally a paper hanger, and Samuel Adams the Boston Town Crier, when not delivering the message that the British are coming, was something of a local constable/ truant officer and part of his official duties was rounding up stray children. What started out as a passionate hobby, became a business. In the late 1940s Dorothy had a knock on the door from an artist- Binnie Wilson, who was sent by Warner Wallpaper out of Chicago to search New England for colonial designs that she could redraw/ re-scale/ re color (if necessary) and Warner would introduce. After months of scouring New England looking for documents, someone suggested she visit Dorothy Waterhouse. Dorothy, was initially reluctant about re-producing her documents commercially, but Binnie talked her into it. There were two collection books issued by Warner. The first collection book was introduced in 1950 and was titled-”Waterhouse Documentary Collection of Wallpaper and Matching Fabrics”. The second book, introduced in the mid to late 1950s,- the “Waterhouse Collection by Dorothy Waterhouse for the Warner Company”, like the first one was based on the re-coloring of Dorothy’s documents and printed and distributed by Warner Wallpaper. There was discussion about a third collection book being produced by Binnie Wilson and Warner but it never materialized. In the fall of 1959 Dorothy’s third collection book came out comprised of 13 designs- the wallpaper book was produced by Katzenbach and Warren with coordinating fabric produced by Greeff Fabrics. It is unclear how and when Dorothy was introduced to Katzenbach and Warren, but Bernard Scott, who eventually partnered with Dorothy, was the New England manager for Katzenbach and Warren, so there is a very good chance that there were acquainted with each other, and Bernard , an artist himself, probably convinced Dorothy to do the third collection book with Katzenbach and Warren. It appears Bernard and Dorothy were partners in the 1960s and 1970s while Bernard also maintained his status as a senior manager at Katzenbach and Warren. As Bernard became more enmeshed in Waterhouse he started recoloring the designs and printing the wallpaper stock on their own as a manufacturer. Of the next eight collection books introduced, initially by both Dorothy and Bernard Scott together as partners ( and then later by Bernard on his own, when Dorothy retired around 1977 and Bernard took over over a sole owner,) the first 7 books ( Volume IV- 1974, Volume V-1978) were printed and assembled by Waterhouse and the primary distribution of the collection books was through Katzenbach and Warren’s channels of distribution (this continued up until the time Katzenbach and Warren was sold to the Imperial Home Decor Group (IHDG.) Bernard worked closely with commission surface printers like Vogue Prints and Thomas Strahan ( Both Thomas Strahan and Vogue Prints, besides designing and printing their own collection, did commission printing for others,) as well as several silk screen hand printers. To expand the Waterhouse collection of documents, Thomas Strahan let Bernard run some of the Thomas Strahan documents under the Waterhouse brand, Katzenbach and Warrnen also gave some designs to Bernard that he could run under the Waterhouse collection brand. (Bernard Scott and Phelps Warren were great friends. Bernard once described Lois and William Katzenbach as “flamboyant,” they did indeed travel the world looking for up and coming artists of the day to design for them, as well as getting prominent artists, such as Miro, Calder and Matisse to do wallpaper panels ( what Katzenbach called “Mural -Scrolls”) of their art work. Whereas Phelps was quiet, genteel, introspective and a artist in his own right. So it was probably a good partnership- an outgoing, gregarious “salesy” type and a more subdued and talented artist with a good eye.)The poem by John Keats, penned in 1818 comes to mind-" A thing of beauty is a joy forever..."During the ensuing years we have enhanced the collection with patterns that are more contemporary in nature, as well as Stripes, Strie effects and Textures. Therefore, the Waterhouse Collection has patterns that will complement any decor.” ALL ITEMS COME FROM A PET FREE AND SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT Ebay Store DesignMaterialsOnCall is pleased to provide multiple high end wallpapers, wallcoverings, textiles, trims, and other designer materials at a BEST PRICE anywhere!
