On August 15, the Macmillan Collector's Library is re-releasing three of Austen's most famous novels. The new editions feature heritage wallpaper patterns from Austen's own home in Hampshire on their covers.
The wallpaper design above was copied and reproduced by historic wallpaper specialists Hamilton Weston Wallpapers and printed using the traditional hand blocking technique. The reproduction paper is known as ‘Chawton Leaf’ and now hangs in the Dining Room, as it would have done in the Austens’ day.

I hope they aren't using the original coloring that was in those deadly toxic papers. Especially the green arsenic colors.
