Multicolour print in medium gray, light gray, gray-brown, brown, light blue and dark blue on black ground. Stamped "Daphne" and "13020" on verso. Glued to backing sheet at left margin. Wallpaper sample with leaf tendrils and flower umbels after a design by Dagobert Peche. Made by Flammersheim & Steinmann for the Wiener Werkstätte in 1922. Reference: Cooper Hewitt Object ID 18697865 (https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18697865/)
The Cooper Hewitt states "machine-printed", the MET in New York "machine roll-printed", the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) somewhat more precisely "polychrome machine glue printing" (for another wallpaper sample by Flammersheim & Steinmann) as the printing technique. The fact is that Dagobert Peche felt compelled to travel to Cologne in person to supervise the apparently complicated realisation of his drafts. The result is still astonishing today, as the surfaces of the samples have the appearance of impasto gouache painting (Galerie Hochdruck also offers a second sample with a different colour scheme).
