Montgomery Ward & Co · 1926 · Montgomery Ward & Co · 30 pictures

A 1926 trade catalogue issued by Montgomery Ward & Co, the American mail-order firm, offering wallpaper to household buyers across the country. Its pages show full-width wallpaper borders and repeating patterns, with floral garlands, foliage sprays and striped grounds printed in muted pinks, greys, blues and browns. A designer might take from them the layering of a patterned frieze above a larger all-over field, and how leaf and blossom motifs were scaled for domestic interiors.
