Decalcomania

Rubix Cub by Vinyl Wall Design

Wall decals are an inexpensive removable decorating tool. Here are a few unusual ones.

The word ‘decal’ is derived from the French word ’decalquer’ and was coined by Simon François Ravenet about 1750. In the late 1800s the word ‘decalcomania’ meaning ‘decal craze’ or ‘love of decals’ was coined. And even today, ‘decalcomania’ is still a common word for decals in many countries. Other names for decals have been ‘mineral transfers’ in the United States, ‘lithographs’ and ‘lithoplanies’ in Europe, ‘diaphanies’ and ‘cockamanies’ in England - this is where the word ‘cockamamie’ comes from!
