Waratah Design for Wall Paper

".. an original design for dark paper, further decorated with a Waratah conception in gold, by Mr C Toms, Museum Artist and Lecturer.

"Wall-paper is a comodity which enters very largely now into the life of a civilised community, and, like most domestic articles, has its fashions, ideas, forms, desighs, colouring, &c., all changing with kaleidoscopic variations of passing years."

From: R.T.Baker (1915) 'The Australian Flora in Applied Art, Part 1, The Waratah', Sydney.
