Oil on beaverboard
MFA# 1990.377

Description

Originally a trademark of the Beaver Board Company (1905) for a pulp composite Wallboard made from wood pulp and/or waste paper. Now the term beaverboard is generally used for a variety of rigid, laminated fiberboards. Beaverboards became a popular interior finish wallboard because they were available in many types of finishes, such as pebble-surfaced, and could be painted or decorated with stenciled designs instead of wallpaper.
