What is the best method of removing Lincrusta wallpaper from plastered walls ?

Because Lincrusta is glued in place { not pasted } it has a tendency to bring half the wall down with it.

I would perforate it and then paint a glue solvent on it with a brush or a roller, let it soak in well and then try a steamer or heat gun and the trusty putty knife. It will be a dirty messy job. Good luck.
