This striped flowering vine pattern was quite
popular at the turn of the 19th century. It exists in at least two
virtually identical versions, and has been found throughout Eastern
Massachusetts.
Adelphi's pattern is from an example in the
collections of Historic New England. It is from the Wheeler
House in Concord, where it was found hung over Adelphi's "4 July 1776"
paper. HNE has additional examples from Sandwich, Newbury, Dorchester,
and Boston, all in Massachusetts, which are printed with the same block
in different colorways. HNE has concluded that all of these papers are
produced by Moses Grant (1744-1817) of Boston.
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper Hangings
by Historic New England.
