This feels like the '60s version of "How It's Made"!

[@samnicholson5051]

Didn't think a video about wallpaper could be so interesting.

[@christopherthomson1978]

it's amazing how these papers where and so colourful now papers we use are quite plain and clean

[@leenmattar3983]

Beautifully detailed wallpapers, unlike the ones we have today, which are so dull and plain.

Fascinating! William Morris wallpaper is beautiful. And the flocking technique is great. Just a pity this video is so short !

Neat processes, but the carpel tunnel injuries must have been widespread.
