Anaglypta is a range of paintable textured wallcoverings made from paper or vinyl. It is produced on traditional paper and paste-the-wall substrates. Anaglypta is similar to Lincrusta, except it is made of cheaper materials (Lincrusta is made from a gelled paste of linseed oil and wood flour).[1] Because of this, Anaglypta is considerably lighter and more flexible than Lincrusta. However, it is less durable, especially since Lincrusta gets harder over time.{{cn|date=June 2014}} Origin and historyThe development of Anaglypta can be traced back to the invention of Lincrusta in 1877 by Frederick Walton.[2] It became an instant success because it was the first washable wallcovering and appealed to the Victorians because of its sanitary properties as well as its durability and ornate effects. Originally made on a linen backing it was, however, quite rigid. Because of this, an employee called Thomas John Palmer invented a similar product which, being made from wood pulp and cotton, was lighter and more flexible. This was to become Anaglypta (from the Greek words Ana (raised) and Glypta [Cameo]).{{cn|date=June 2014}} Seeing this as a threat to Lincrusta, Walton decided not to develop it; Palmer patented the product, parted from Walton, and moved to Lancaster.{{cn|date=June 2014}} There he began production of Anaglypta in partnership with Storey Bros. in 1887. The partnership was ordered to be dissolved in 1893 by the courts, following a dispute concerning profit sharing.[3] Anaglypta and Lincrusta came together again in 1931 when they were merged to form the Relief Decorations branch of Wallpaper Manufacturers (WPM) and manufactured in Darwen, Lancashire. After a period of stability Relief Decorations was sold to Reed International in the 1960s and with considerable investment the first duplex product made entirely of wood pulp was launched; this is now marketed as Anaglypta Original. The Anaglypta brand was purchased from CWV in May 2012 by Retford Wallcoverings Limited who manufactured Anaglypta products under licence for many years prior to the acquisition.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} See also
