The Horse Fair, machine-printed wall covering

A machine-printed sheet divides into four framed scenes of horses outdoors, framed by a tan and gold decorative border. The large top and bottom panels show riders and onlookers among grey, chestnut and dark horses under green trees; the middle panels show a horse at a fence and a horse beside a cottage.
