Brochure, New York American: The Way to Reach the Moderns
This is a Brochure.

![This sidewall has a repetitive wallpaper print design repeated halfway up. Against a white ground, two stylized figures in horse riding costumes, including one on horseback, converse with each other on mounds of grass. Beside them, a long-haired dog stands looking up at the figures. Beside the dog, two large plant forms emerge from the ground, the center similar to a water fountain with draping spear-shaped leaves encircled by a flowery bush. To the left of the central plant is a palm tree with wide leaves and gray center. The overall figures and foliage are printed in a bright apple green with black outlines.
