Anaglypta
A lighter, cheaper relief wallpaper of embossed paper, developed by Thomas Palmer, who worked for the makers of Lincrusta.
Anaglypta was invented as a cheaper and lighter successor to Lincrusta. The paper was embossed with cotton fibre, giving a deep relief that weighed little and was easy to hang.
It became popular in halls, stairwells and below the dado rail in Victorian and Edwardian homes, where it was painted over. The name became so established that it is used for embossed relief wallpapers in general.
Paper-based relief that is hollow on the back, lighter than Lincrusta.
