Wallpaper - Greetings from Hagerstown - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hagerstown vintage screenprint postcard wallpaper captures the exhilarating rush of a classic American horse race. Originally produced by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork depicts racehorses and jockeys in vibrant silks galloping around the bend of a dirt track, cheered on by spectators filling the grandstand. The composition balances the dynamic motion of the foreground race with the architectural perspective of the stadium, framed by lush green trees and a soft blue and peach sky. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings classic Americana and retro sporting character to your interior.

In the room

In a living room, study, or home library, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full scope of the racetrack and grandstand architecture can be appreciated. The horizontal movement of the galloping horses naturally draws the eye across the space, making it a captivating focal point behind a sofa or along a main feature wall. Because the artwork combines rich earth tones in the foreground with lighter sky tones above, it brings visual depth to the room without feeling heavy or closed in.

Styling it

To complement the vintage sporting aesthetic, we would pair this wallpaper with traditional or mid-century interior elements. Warm wood tones, such as rich walnut or aged oak, naturally reflect the earthy saddle brown shades of the dirt track. Upholstery in classic textured fabrics like tweed, rich leather, or muted wool helps ground the space, while keeping surrounding furniture relatively tailored ensures the dynamic race scene remains the centre of attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by warm earth tones, saddle brown, dusty greens, and the soft blues and warm sunset hues of the sky, punctuated by small accents of red, yellow, and blue in the racing silks. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room accents, soft parchment, warm stone, or muted vintage cream create a gentle transition from the sky. For a more dramatic look, deep forest green or rich warm tan can be drawn from the landscape and track to highlight surrounding woodwork or architectural trim.
