Wallpaper collections are quite rare, but the Whitworth in Manchester has more than 10,000 examples. It is a diverse and eclectic collection of wallpapers and wall coverings from the C17 to the present and encompasses everything from the hand-printed to the mass market. Its range of C20 wallpapers illustrates "the inventiveness of early post-war design and the exuberance of the 1960s and 1970s". This is 'Provence' by Lucienne Day, one of the three wallpapers designed by Lucienne Day for the 1951 Festival of Britain. It has now been reissued.
