Wall Paper and Border c. 1937

"Wall Paper and Border," designed by Nicholas Acampora in c. 1937, depicts a repeating pattern of figures and landscape elements in black ink on a pale blue background. The design features small figures with winged creatures, trees, columns, ships, and a repeating pattern of wavy lines that evoke a watery landscape. The design is framed by a border of repeating motifs in a darker shade of blue, characteristic of the designer's work. Acampora was a prolific designer of decorative arts, and this wallpaper design reflects his interest in intricate and visually appealing patterns.
