Larkin wall-paper book, no. 4.
A 1910 trade catalogue of wallpaper designs issued by the Larkin Co. of Buffalo, New York, for retailers and decorators choosing paper. The pictures are flat printed patterns with a border band across the top, a divider, and a repeating field below, in olive, cream, and sepia tones. A designer could take the stacked frieze-and-field layout, the trailing vine columns, and the rosette-and-lattice repeats as ready-made period pattern structures.
