A striking, light-hearted design that embodies the1950s, this paper was found in The Architects Book of 100 Wallpapers published in 1954. The original paper shows a selection of line-drawn dandelions, almost lost against an informal freehand trellis. The contemporary interpretation is a little easier on the eye, featuring the six subtly varied flower heads on a solid ground of colour. A compendium book of twentieth century wallpapers, specially selected from historic archives, including original documents at Manchester’s Whitworth Art Gallery and private collections; all of them researched, reworked and re-coloured by Little Greene. Comprising twelve authentic patterns from as early as the turn of the century to as late as 1976, this book includes timeless designs from several key periods, notably the post-war revival of the 1950s and the ensuing decades, renowned for their design flair and creative dynamism.
