Found: Print Rooms

I’ve always imagined that whenever it is I finally have my own house with rooms to spare, I’d have a room dedicated just to displaying photographs, floor to ceiling all in identical black frames. Flipping through a book on wallpaper in interior decoration I found this image from 1762 the Castletown House, County Kildare: bingo! This room was created by Louisa Connolly over the course of her life — each print was individual and pasted to the wall with an accompanying decorative border to achieve this effect.
