Aloha Map folks,

An artist has contacted me asking for general advice on how to reproduce
(the appearance of) wall maps from the early to mid-1900's.  Can anyone
point us to literature on how these wall maps were made?

Of particular interest is how the paper map was printed and adhered to
the cloth backing, what kind of cloth was used, and what is that
varnish-like coating often seen on the surface of these maps, etc..

Thank you for your assistance!

Ross
