Joseph Dufour, Mâcon (Saône-et-Loire (71))

And here's the Rue Joseph Dufour. Dufour set up his innovative wallpaper business in 1797 in Mâcon, although after the success of his panoramic Les Sauvages de la mer Pacifique (designed by Jean-Gabriel Charvet) at the Produits de l'Industrie française in Paris in 1806, he moved to Paris.

Joseph Dufour, Tramayes (Saône-et-Loire (71))

Joseph Dufour (1754-1847), the painter of panoramic wall paper, is now little known to the general public, although he lives on in this Salle named after him in his birthplace in Tramayes (which he left at the age of four). A street bears his name in Mâcon (where he lived for a time), and the Musée des Ursulines has this: Jean-Gabriel Charvet's Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique, a twenty-section masterpiece published by Dufour.
