Fragment of nursery wallpaper. Vignettes of children and adults playing various games such as kickball, lawn tennis, and bowling. One vignette of a cat exploring the picnic basket. Scenes are interspersed with oversized flowering plants. Roller-printed in ochre and light green with thin blue outline. Vertical and horizontal green lines were printed over the design to form a grid of squares, perhaps to emulate tiles. Printed on ungrounded paper.
