Papering the Nursery — Honor C. Appleton Postcard

A child balances on tiptoe, smoothing a length of rose-patterned wallpaper onto the nursery wall while rolls of floral paper unfurl across the floor below. A doll in a golden gown stands guard atop a tin box, and a small black kitten watches the whole operation with evident suspicion.

Illustrated by Honor C. Appleton, it turns a nursery chore into a small drama — a fitting card for anyone who has ever ‘helped’ with redecorating and left more mess than order behind.
