Wallpaper - Greetings from the Race Track - Screenprint Postcard

Featuring artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, this vintage postcard design captures the animated atmosphere of the Oak Lawn Race Track in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Packed grandstands topped with waving American flags overlook the open dirt track, where thoroughbreds round the rail beside tall pine trees. The composition combines warm sandy browns, rich pine greens, and soft pastel clouds in the sky, presenting a distinct mid-century print character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, this panoramic scene creates an engaging focal point across a main feature wall. The horizontal flow of the track and grandstand naturally draws the eye across the space, making it especially effective along a wider wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the artwork contains lively illustrative detail and historic architectural elements, we recommend giving it an unobstructed surface where the full narrative of the scene can be enjoyed without tall furniture blocking the action.

Styling it

The nostalgic character of the print pairs naturally with classic and vintage-inspired interior elements. We would style this design alongside warm, mid-toned wood furniture such as walnut or aged oak, which reflects the earthy tones of the dirt track and historic grandstand architecture. Clean-lined upholstery in subdued, natural textiles like canvas or woven wool keeps the room grounded while allowing the illustrative detail of the wallpaper to remain the visual center of attention.

Colour combinations

The palette of this design is anchored by rich pine greens, warm sand, and terracotta roof accents set against a soft sky blue with muted peach and cream clouds. To create a cohesive look, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with adjacent painted walls in warm off-white, light linen tones, or an earthy beige. For a richer accent, deep forest green on surrounding trim or cabinetry complements the towering pines along the trackside.
