Schumacher Paris Natural Cork La Cité 1734 Wallpaper French Photograph Mural
About the Item
Paris 1734 La Cité Natural Cork Wallcovering, Schumacher Wallpaper, Mural. La Cité is a reproduction of the Turgot Map of Paris, originally published in 1739. Created by Louis Bretez, a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, the map is elaborately rendered in “false perspective,” or bird’s eye point of view. Bretez labored over the extraordinarily detailed plan for years, meticulously documenting each park, and window in the metropolis. The mural is an exacting record of 18th century Paris prior to Baron Haussman’s redesign of the city as well as a remarkable artwork in its own right. Schumacher’s La Cité became part of the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum’s permanent collection in 1992. This set of wallcoverings consists of the map printed in blue-black ink on natural cork with paper backing. The experimental cork La Cité was printed in limited quantities from 2002-2007 and is no longer available for sale or custom order. Schumacher currently produces the black ink on cream paper version which retails for 3250 USD. La Cité consists of 5 panels, each panel measuring 25" W by 108" H. The 5 panels measure 125" W by 78.5" H with 12" of ground below the design and 18" of ground above. This set is untrimmed and has never been installed. This is an extremely rare find.
