ABSTRACT

The article discusses the process of map wall covering. International banker Philip Detjen's wife, Susan decorated their wall with her collection of Baedeker's Old Guide Books, which feature beautiful fold-out maps. She opted to use the sepia-toned Baedeker maps as a border and to cover the remaining space with topographical maps front their travels. Susan and David first hung the maps with pushpins. David used a damp sponge and a natural-bristle brush to remove bubbles and smooth the surface once the maps were placed on the walls.
