Anaglypta is a heavy embossed paper used as a wallcovering. Similar in appearance to lincrusta, anaglypta is made primarily from cotton and paper pulp. Thomas Palmer, who worked for Frederick Walton as a showroom manager, began producing it in 1886 as an inexpensive alternative to lincrusta. Although Walton initially saw it as a threat to his lincrusta sales, the two companies eventually merged in the early twentieth century. [1]
