Following yesterday’s post on Saul Steinberg’s wonderful “Views of Paris” wallpaper, which was designed in 1946 and still is available today, I started nosing around some more on Schumacher’s website. I found more designs for wallpaper and/or fabrics all reproduced from the 1950s originals. Amazing! Gorgeous! Gonna cost you! I think the one above — “Trains” wallpaper by Saul Steinberg for Schumacher — also might have some appeal to our steampunk kin. Note, the Schumacher page for this print does not identify it as a Steinberg design. But, I found a reference to it in another listing. But now I want to know: What happened to “Horses”?
“Aviary” wallpaper designed by Saul Steinberg and sold by Schumacher. This is also available in a black-on-white print and as a fabric.
“Opera” fabric, designed by Saul Steinberg, for Schumacher. Discovered in the archives as an original Greeff print.

My sisters and I inherited a large original print of Trains (printed on silk) that belonged to my mother. She bought it in the early 50s. Since only one sister can enjoy the print, I just recently bought a roll of wallpaper, 6 repeats per roll, and will frame them so we can all had an image.
The wall paper is great quality, screen printed with vibrant blacks and colors. Schumacher doesn’t skimp on quality and worth every penny.
