Sample Book, Charter Oak Decorations

This is a Sample book. It was manufactured by Charter Oak Wallpaper Company. It is dated 1948 and we acquired it in 1995. Its medium is machine-printed on paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.

This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled Perky New Designs for the Kitchen.

It is credited Museum purchase from Friends of Wallcoverings Fund.

This drawing depicts a multiple-story building using thin lines from the base of the building looking upward. Angled diagonally to the top lefft corner, the building shoots out of of the ground surrounded by triangles with sketched lines, resembling mini mountains. The core of the building is long and slim, the first story landing starting far up from the ground. Directly underneath the first story balcony is a blue, geodesic space with six visible glass walls, that encloses the middle of the building. It is the only color on the page, depicted using a sky-blue. From there, the drawing shows the underside of what looks to be balconies highlighting the multi-storied nature of the building. With the exterior walls of the building further inward, each story or 'deck' extends outward in a tiered, pagoda-like manner. At the top of the building is a construction crane, its hook extending all the way from the top to the glass enclosure.
