Description
This is one of a collection of over 80 wallpaper fragments retrieved from the walls of the NSW Parliament House, Macquarie Street Sydney. The papers were removed by the NSW Department of Public Works during restoration work in the late 1970s and early 80s. The papers date over about a 100 year period, from the 1850s to 1950s, and vary substantially in decoration and quality as they come from rooms ranging from the Legislative Council Chamber to small staff offices.
