This is one of a series of wallpapers which were designed and produced for the Festival of Britain in 1951. Each pattern in the series was inspired by the crystalline structure of a chemical compound, in this case nylon. The crystallographer in this instance was Charles William Bunn. The series was developed as the result of a collaboration between the Festival Pattern Group and the wallpaper manufacturer John Line & Sons Ltd. Four wallpapers from the series were used extensively in the Festival site - in the Regatta Restaurant, the Exhibition of Science and in the Dome of Discovery. This particular design was produced as a sample only under the name 'Cherwell'; it was not shown at the Festival.
