The Home Beautiful: The "National" Wallpaper, 1897

The Victoria & Albert Museum

Here we see a portion of a design by Walker Crane for a wallpaper pattern entitled, “National.”  It features a shield bearing the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom in red and yellow, and a combination of thistles and other plants in grey.  The design was created for Jeffrey and Co. in 1897 for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
