NOTES: The 'Palladio' wallpaper range was the brainchild of Richard Busby and Guy Busby of the Lightbown Aspinall branch of Wall Paper Manufacturers Limited (WPM). The company commissioned a number of designers to produce both abstract and representational schemes around the central theme of architecture. Part of a larger 'Palladio' range of wallpapers, 'Palladio Magnus' formed a satellite collection of silkscreen printed papers primarily aimed at architects for use in public and commercial buildings.
