Panoramic wallpaper the incas polychrome

This panoramic wallpaper was edited in 1818 by Manufacturer DUFOUR. It was born as a free interpretation from a book by J-F Marmontel (1723–1799): ” Les Incas, ou la destruction de l’empire du Pérou ” (1776). Relating the conquest of Peru by Pizzaro in 1532, this novel emphasizes the Indians’ tolerance and innocence, as opposed to the Spanish conquistadores’ cruelty. Yet, the mural overlooks the shady side of the conquest, and rather shows a peaceful portrayal of the two civilizations.

This panoramic wallpaper has been garnered from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. There is another copy in the Victoria and Albert’s Museum, in London.

Owing to the manufacturing process, there could be small variations in colors from one production batch to the next. If possible, avoid buying different parts of the same design several weeks apart.
