Two partial rolls of reproduction wallpaper in the "Queen Anne" pattern (#23193) designed by Binnie B. Wilson for the Waterhouse Collection manufactured by The Warner Company, Chicago. The wallpaper has a large-scale floral spray pattern featuring carnations and other flowers. Both rolls are roller-printed in two greens, two browns, white, blue-green, and fuschia on a light blue ground. Pattern is based on an English block-printed wallpaper dating from 1750-1760 that was found in the Whipple House, Ipswich, MA.
