Wallpaper - Greetings from New London - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New London wallpaper brings classic mid-century travel graphic design to life across a large-format composition. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in the distinctive 1940s large-letter postcard style, the motif spells out "Greetings From New London Conn." in bold block typography. Each letter contains an individual scenic illustration showing local beaches, waterfront views, historic architecture, and a submarine against an airy light blue backdrop. Vibrant red-and-white shadowed lettering creates graphic depth and high visual energy. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings historic printmaking character to statement residential spaces.

In the room

Because the central typography and vignettes form a complete narrative artwork, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted focal wall. In an entryway, foyer, or hallway, it sets an immediate conversational tone right at the threshold of the home. It also makes an engaging feature wall in a home office or living room behind low-profile seating, where the full horizontal typography remains visible without being obscured by tall furniture. The light blue background maintains an open feeling across the wall, while the intricate illustrations within each letter invite closer looking.

Styling it

To keep the visual focus on the graphic postcard lettering, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with clean-lined furniture and simple materials that reflect its mid-century graphic heritage.

• Choose warm mid-tone wood finishes or painted cabinetry with simple hardware so the surrounding surfaces do not compete with the busy vignettes inside the letters.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, allowing the bold typography and illustrated details to serve as the primary focal point of the space.
• Introduce solid textiles rather than multi-colored patterns nearby to give the eye a natural resting place around the detailed motif.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a sky-blue background with lively red and crisp white typography accents, balanced by rich blues, greens, and warm architectural tones within the letter illustrations. For adjacent painted surfaces, soft off-whites or pale sky blues connect naturally with the background field. If you want a more grounded look across cabinetry or architectural trim, deep navy or slate blue picks up on the maritime scenes and typography shadows.
