Object history | Given by Mr John B. Fowler. Provenance: Strawberry House, formerly the Rectory, Barnes, Surrey. The paper was superimposed upon E.2247-1966. Another piece of this paper was found at Somerset House, together with the accounts of Robert Stark, paper hanger, for 1779. This pattern seems likely to be the 'Green on green pretty rose' listed in the accounts. |
