Little Greene Moy Wallpaper - Pompei

Moy (The Argory) c.1875 Little is known about this small-scale print found at The Argory, near Moy, Northern Ireland. The surviving fragment is estimated to be of late 19th-century origin and was printed using diluted watercolours rather than a more conventional, substantial ink or even opaque ink. This slightly broken effect, combined with the shading seen in the loose geometric pattern, gives the drawing a life that would be difficult to achieve straight from the drawing board.
