Description
Believed to be one of the earliest commercial uses of railroad imagery in the United States. This piece of wallpaper shows four wheeled cars labeled for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Interestingly these cars seem to match English freight car designs rather than the early cars of the Baltimore & Ohio from the 1830s.
