A fine catalogue, by the high-end wallpaper and printed textile firm Sanderson, which still exists today "Sanderson is the proud holder of a Royal Warrant for supplying fabrics, paint, and wallcoverings to the Royal Residences. The Royal Warrant, a prestigious mark of recognition for companies supplying goods or services to the Royal Household, is consistently reviewed for excellence, ensuring recipients uphold standards in their areas of business. Our Royal Warrant reflects our continued dedication to the highest quality standards, craftsmanship, and service, which we are proud to have held for 100 years." (from their website). This catalogue shows examples of, mainly, wallpaper, but with the following categories, indicated by printed tabs, added: Edging Christmas & Easter Papers, Embossed Satins and Micas, Golds & Silvers, Textures Marbles & Woodgrains, Leatherettes Calf Paper, and Tints & Dolls House papers. The latter including miniature brick walls. This catalogue is undated, presumably because the designs were considered ageless. Internal dating of the F-range catalogues started in 1961. Inscribed on the title page, David Watson; one leaf partly torn off, otherwise fine, unmarked.
